Gareth Southgate's plans are coming together nicely as a controlled performance following an admittedly iffy start brought encouragement against Italy
German referee Deniz Aytekin will find himself at the centre of a media storm no doubt as his VAR-assisted decision to award a late penalty against James Tarkowski for a foul on Federico Chiesa was far from conclusive. It got the Wembley crowd fired up at least for the last few minutes on a night when they saw some good football but also entertained themselves with the lights from their smartphones and a few Mexican Waves.
It might take them a bit of time here to get used to seeing an England team pushing and probing and not getting the ball forward at the first opportunity.
