The Channel 4 pundits both think it should not have been a penalty.

Joleon Lescott said: "It's very harsh. There's no way he would have known the forward was closing him down. There's no way it should be given."

Joe Cole added: "That's absurd. The referee saw it in real time. You'll get people running into people's hands and elbows in the box now. The referee wants to be in the star of the show."

But there have been no problems for Scotland and it was party time at Hampden Park yesterday.

They had already qualified before a thrilling 3-3 draw with Norway and watch how Steve Clarke and his Scotland players celebrated with the Tartan Army.

Wales manager Robert Page expresses disappointment after his side's Euro 2024 qualification hopes suffered a potentially devastating setback with a 1-1 draw in Armenia.

Manager Robert Page has urged Wales to end their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign "on a high" after a disappointing draw in Armenia.

Saturday's 1-1 draw means Wales must now beat Group D leaders Turkey in Cardiff on Tuesday and hope Croatia do not win at home to Armenia.

Failing that, Wales will almost certainly have the back-up option of the play-offs in March.

"Unfortunately it's now out of our control," said Page. "With a win, we'd all have been buzzing and looking forward to the game on Tuesday and a [further] win would have seen us qualify.

"It's not materialised as we'd like but that's life and we have to get on with it.

"It's about building momentum and, if it's a play-off in March, it's a play-off in March. If results go for us, we've still got an opportunity to qualify [automatically].

"We can only control what we can do, get the players in the right frame of mind, mentally and physically ready for Tuesday.

As it stands, Italy, Czech Republic and Slovenia are heading to Euro 2024.

Italy are drawing 0-0 against Ukraine, who need to get the win in the match played in Leverkusen, Germany.

The Czech Republic are 1-0 ahead against Moldova and Slovenia are also beating Kazakhstan by the same scoreline.

Northern Ireland are holding Denmark to a goalless draw at half-time. To follow that match, click here.

And that's the last of the action. England trail at the break after VAR gets involved and gives a penalty against 18-year-old debutant Rico Lewis.

Jordan Pickford initially saved it but it then fell to spot-kick taker Enis Bardhi and he converted the rebound.

No penalty for England. Gareth Southgate was convinced, the England players were convinced. But no joy.

Could England have a penalty themselves now? Marc Guehi went down at the near post, Harry Maguire got booted in the face.

What does referee Filip Glova get told to do next?

England so nearly get a goal in first-half injury time. It is a lovely dipping attempt from Trent Alexander-Arnold 20 yards out but goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski does excellently to acrobatically tip it over the top.

North Macedonia have had 17% of the ball and lead. England finally register a shot on target with Rico Lewis' effort saved reasonably comfortably by Stole Dimitrievski.

England had to wait 65 minutes before a shot on target against Malta on Friday.

Bukayo Saka looks to get England level quickly, but can't get a great connection with a lot of bodies between him and goal and the home defence manage to get in the way.

It was initially a great save from Pickford but it is unfortunate that the ball bounces back to Bardhi to give him a second chance.

Out of nowhere England are behind, and after a solid 40-minute display they don't deserve to be.

Jordan Pickford dives to his left, gets two hands to the penalty from Enis Bardhi.

But...

This is bonkers, it is unbelievable.

Lewis has gone up to head the ball, and his arm has flicked out as he jumped, naturally his arms will go up into the air.

He has only slightly flicked the player in the eye. A rubbish decision, it is re-refereeing. Unfortunate, nothing more.

It has tarnished an otherwise great first-half performance from Rico Lewis.

Given.

Referee Filip Glova goes to the pitchside monitor. This could be bad news for England and Rico Lewis.

We have a VAR check for a North Macedonia penalty.

Rico Lewis, with eyes on the ball jumping for a header, has caught Bojan Miovski with a flailing arm to the face.

Are the hosts getting a spot-kick?
