One thing I've noticed is there hasn't been any tactical fouls to break up play.

France get a pretty harsh penalty, a second yellow for the Belgian, pen is saved then the rebound completely missed despite the goalie being nowhere near the middle of the goal. Some justice there but I don't think VAR was correct in the first place.

Northern Ireland defended brilliantly until the 40th minute, which came as a bit of a surprise. They gave it a good go but England just looking unstoppable.

One of Durham’s centre-backs plays for NI so I’m happy to see another north east girl giving a good showing after all the England stars who got their start up here

England looking second best at the mo, they're struggling to cope with Spain's closing down.

Crosses look to unsettle them a bit; however Spain are a tricksy team for sure.

Only caught the last 10 mins of the first half, but it looked ominous.

Spain have been quicker, smarter, more organized and more skillful.
England very much off the pace with only glimmers of their previous games.
Would expect a tougher challenge of course but Spain deserve this so far.

It's such a nice novelty seeing an England manager making subs before the 118th minute

Spain have not quite left the boot in all night, but they’ve certainly made sure they’ve left a mark.

Feeling very tense about this one. The whole ground feels on edge. We’re really getting away with it here.

Why wasn't the Spanish 14 on from the start? Proper handful.

Get in!
Spain with a fully fit squad and a manager who doesn't make odd decisions will probably win the World Cup next year, they bossed the first half and made our defence look shaky whenever they were on the attack.
But never mind that, c'mon England!

Considering how ropey England were for a lot of that game it's quite the result! What a winning goal it was too, fantastic.

Excellent performance England.
(Eventually). Picked up 15/20 from the end.
