England counter via Rashford, who tears down the left flank spectacularly, creaming an inviting cross via the Uruguay field.

Share
33 min: Madueke and Aguirre fall over in an unintentional tangle. Madueke stays down. On ITV, Lee Dixon resists the temptation to encourage the ref to hoof him off the pitch like an outdated sock. So issues can enhance. We will be taught.
