Minute-by-minute report: Join Scott Murray for updates as England look to avenge their recent defeat at Wembley
Gordon accelerates down the left again. The door is slammed shut, though it takes three blue shirts to cut off the route to the penalty box., and there’s their reward. Greece have hardly had a touch, other than to pick out the ball from the back of their net.
Bellingham plays a reverse pass down the right to release Madueke into space. He reaches the byline and cuts back for Watkins, who can’t miss from six yards. Seems Lee Carsley knows what he’s doing. Harry who?need to win this game if they’re to have a chance of finishing top of the group. They need to match or better Greece’s 2-1 scoreline also. With this in mind, on ITV, the commentating team of Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon have already mentioned the benched Harry Kane over 800 times.
“Obviously you turn up and expect to be playing … the manager has made a decision and we have to stick by that as a group of lads … this is a game you want to be involved in … we take points off them and we’ve a good chance of finishing top … these are the games you want to be involved in for your country … with Harry being on the bench needs to take front mantelpiece and get some goals tonight … momentum to take into Sunday as well … there was a lot of emotion with the very sad news of George...
Five of those men start - Vangelis Pavlidis, Christos Zafeiris, Christos Tzolis, Kostas Tsimikas and Manolis Siopis – while another three are on the bench . Not a singlehave to win tonight to retain a chance of finishing the group on top and gaining automatic promotion. Greece need just a point this evening to guarantee they’ll finish first and go up; in that scenario, their victory at Wembley means they’d pip England on the head-to-head.
They’re also without Kane in their starting XI. He’s on the bench – injury is reportedly not a factor - with Kyle Walker taking over captain’s duties. Noni Madueke starts for the first time while Curtis Jones makes his debut.Vlachodimos, Rota, Mavropanos, Koulierakis, Tsimikas, Siopis, Zaferis, Masouras, Bakasetas, Tzolis, Pavlidis.Pickford, Walker, Konsa, Guéhi, Lewis, Jones, Gallagher, Bellingham, Madueke, Gordon, Watkins.
