Early own goal and Kane's second-half strike gives Three Lions victory
England took until 64th minute to manage shot on target in lacklustre display
Three Lions top of Group C with six wins and one draw
Harry Kane
England goal number 62 for skipper Harry Kane!
This is a properly good goal, simple football done really well.
Kyle Walker drives the ball inside, plays it to Phil Foden whose first-time pass sets up Bukayo Saka in the box. And the Arsenal forward has the intelligence to lay it off to Kane for a tap-in.
England finally double their lead.

Better from England as Kyle Walker gets a yard of space and fires a cross in for Cole Palmer but a Malta boot gets to it first and prods the ball away.

Anon: The quality of those paper aeroplanes is actually more interesting than the match right now. Getting from the stands to the pitch is no small feat!
Daniel: Can we get the bloke who sprinted on to fix the flag on again? That woke the crowd up briefly.

Cole Palmer's trying to do a bit too much and loses the ball in midfield, although Malta don't get very far with their counter-attack.
The visitors look very tired now. Surely England will grab a second soonish?

A great moment for the fourth official who sprints across the Wembley turf with some tape to help out the assistant ref.
He's applauded as if he's scored a late winner.

Oh, and the assistant referee's flag has broken.

Nick: Why are we surprised we're struggling? Players out of position & players out of form!
Colin: England have all the ingredients for a 3 star Michelin meal but are serving up bubble and squeak! Depressing watch.

Nope, always rising. Phil Foden lays the ball off to Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the Liverpool full-back/midfielder's shot sails way over the bar.

Some lovely footwork from Cole Palmer wins England a free-kick right on the edge of the box.
Great position this. Phil Foden, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kieran Trippier are all over the ball.

We have a save! A Bukayo Saka cross is headed clear but only as far as Trent Alexander-Arnold whose hooked volley bounces straight to Malta keeper Henry Bonello.

But he is also a product of the England youth system and has came through the ranks. Southgate must believe now he is ready,

Over an hour played and still no shots on target for either side.
England are dominating possession, but only Phil Foden and Trent Alexander-Arnold are creating chances at the moment.

One of the proudest moments of my life and what Palmer will be going through now is incredible. The adrenaline will be through the roof and what a moment it is for him.

Cole Palmer does indeed come on, replacing Marcus Rashford to become England's 60th debutant under Gareth Southgate.
Jordan Henderson is booed by a small group of supporters as he's replaced by Declan Rice.

Trent Alexander-Arnold finds Marcus Rashford with a ball over the top but the angle is too tight for the Manchester United forward and he can't get a shot away. And then, and this is the story of England's match, the two players run into each other.

We don't seem to be up for games if there is nothing riding on it. I feel for the fans that have travelled and paid their money.
