Not this time, Jude.
He is found on the left side of the box by Phil Foden but in trying to beat Giorgio Scalvini smashes his forehead into the chin of the Italian defender. The game is halted for both to receive treatment.

That penalty was very timely for England. They were struggling to create. Going forward, how many times are we going to be saying that a bit of Jude Bellingham inspiration helped England out of a hole?

England nearly caught out in identical fashion to the first goal there!
The ball is getting transferred out to the Italian right-hand side, and each time they do that, Berardi has plenty of space.
Di Lorenzo on the overlap was looking to play it in but Stones provided a vital tackle to stop the move.

Italy nearly rework the trick.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo is fed in down the right for a low ball. This time, John Stones is there to poke the ball behind for a corner that Harry Maguire defends well.

Bellingham clearly on his way down there before the contact...

How is that not a red card with the last man bringing Bellingham down? Denial of a goal scoring opportunity, surely?

I understand it’s all about results but for once it would be great if England didn’t rely on penalties or set pieces. Kane has scored 21 pens for England and far too many in Southgate’s reign. It’s too slow and easy to play England and why we will never win a cup with him in charge

Kane has contributed to goals in his last 6 games in European Championship qualifiers (6 goals, 2 assists).

Jude Bellingham has been gesturing and trying to get the crowd going. His run into the box won the penalty and now at the restart he is asking for more from his team.
Harry Kane
No mistake!
Gianluigi Donnarumma goes to his right, Harry Kane slots it the other way.
That's 60 England goals for the Bayern Munich striker.

Why such a long check?!
A penalty is the decision. Giovanni Di Lorenzo gets a booking.
Over to you, Harry Kane...

It's very hard to distinguish in real time.
I'm not sure that Di Lorenzo gets a piece of the ball, he probably doesn't. It looks like a good call.
Great direct play and one-two between Kane and Bellingham. The crowd were waiting for positivity and he has delivered it.

Jude Bellingham's toe gets to the ball first. He's then caught. It's surely a penalty.

Jude Bellingham is the man!
He is too quick to reach a ball into the box and is sent spinning to the turf by Giovanni Di Lorenzo's late sliding tackle.
It'll be checked...
England 0-1 Italy
This is better.
Kieran Trippier sees one cross cleared at the back post but quickly gets a second go, sending over a ball that Jude Bellingham rises to meet but fails to get much power on. Gianluigi Donnarumma claims.

The first yells of frustration from this crowd as Harry Maguire dwells on the ball, lacking any option further forward.

Scamacca hit that ball so hard. The whole of Wembley took a deep breath when he hit that shot past Pickford's post.

England aren't really moving the ball as quickly as you would like. They are getting their heads up but the pass is too slow.
The speed of the Italian attack for the goal, that is what created the space and caught England unawares.
At the moment it is just a little bit pedestrian, not moving quickly enough through the lines.

England look nervous, Italy confident.
Gianluca Scamacca shifts the ball on to his left foot on the edge of the box and fires a shot that fizzes just wide, with Jordan Pickford committed to a dive.
This crowd is very quiet.

Well that has soured the mood.
England had lifted the crowd with that good start but suddenly there is anxiety in the air after Italy's goal. England just need to settle down once more but that was not a setback they saw coming. Italy now look more confident.
England 0-1 Italy
Italy have something to defend now. And if there is something Italian sides tend to know how to do, it is defend.
England are on the ball, looking to regain some composure.

They are strutting around the pitch, looking comfortable in their passing.
England need to switch up the gears.
