Your support makes all the difference.Scotland hosted England in a special friendly to mark the 150th anniversary of the first international fixture played between the two nations. Fans flocked to Hampden Park for the latest renewal of this old rivalry hoping to see the hosts continue their impressive form but it was England who dominated the first half.
They controlled the tempo and created the better early chances as Steve Clarke’s men failed to get to grips with the match. Phil Foden broke the deadlock with a deft touch to turn Kyle Walker’s skewed shot into the back of the net before an exceptional Jude Bellingham doubled the lead three minutes later when he latched onto Andy Robertson’s miscontrolled ball inside the penalty area.
Harry Maguire was brought on at half-time but his bad luck continued as he deflected an Andy Robertson pass past Aaron Ramsdale to keep Scotland in the hunt but a superb pass from Bellingham to feed Harry Kane ended the host’s hopes as the England captain netted the third with less than 10 minutes to play.
