Jude Bellingham and James Maddison were both picked after fine starts to the season but struggled to make an impact
There was a strong Premier League connection in the Ukraine side with Arsenal’s Oleksandar Zinchenko in midfield, Everton’s Vitaliy Mykolenko and Bournemouth’s Illya Zabarnyi in defence and Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk in attack, while one-time Tottenham and West Ham striker Serhiy Rebrov prowled the touchline.
And it was Zinchenko, playing in a more advanced position than he normally does for his club, who opened the scoring with an accurate finish from Yukhym Konoplya’s cut-back after a well-worked team goal. Zinchenko has only netted three times in 164 games in English football, but has been far more prolific for his country with a strike rate of nine in 54 caps.
For all of their possession, England struggled to create clearcut chances until Harry Kane fashioned something out of nothing with an exquisite long-range pass for Kyle Walker to run onto and score his first international goal in his 77th game.
