England took a heavy blow in the EM qualifying match at Wembley.

Iceland, ranked 72nd in the world, won 1-0 – and Gareth Southgate's team is heading to the EM in Germany with a disappointing performance in their luggage.

England was booed both at halftime and after the match.

Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson scored the winning goal in the first half with a shot that home goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale should have taken.

Cole Palmer, Anthony Gordon, and Kobbie Mainoo failed to seize the opportunity to show Southgate that they deserve a starting spot in the EM.

England faces Serbia in its EM opener next Sunday and the group also includes Denmark and Slovenia.
