Following their embarrassing loss to Italy in Milan, England was humiliated by being relegated from their UEFA Nations League group.
The San Siro game finally came to life after the break thanks to a fantastic goal from Giacomo Raspadori in the 68th minute. England’s losing record has now reached five games, which is their worst since June 2014.
Goalkeeper Nick Pope, filling in for the injured Jordan Pickford, was helpless to stop Raspadori’s lightning-quick control and fierce right-foot finish.
