England and Scotland had to settle for a Group D draw at Wembley in a Euro 2020 ‘Battle of Britain’ on Friday.
The weather may have been decidedly dreary in north London but the action was anything but, with chances at both ends. Raheem Sterling and Mason Mount spurned early openings, while John Stones guided a header against the post with David Marshall well beaten. England No1 Jordan Pickford was also busy, pulling off a fine stop to keep out Stephen O'Donnell's volley.
It set the tone for an end-to-end encounter, with both sets of supporters suffering spells with hearts in mouths. Reece James brilliantly blocked a Lyndon Dykes effort on the goal line and though The Three Lions enjoyed more possession as the match wore on, Scotland carried a real threat whenever they got forward.
A desperate melee in the Scots' penalty area at the death just about summed up the evening as The Tartan Army held on, and will carry their spoils home with last-16 hopes very much alive.
Scotland’s Billy Gilmour was named the Star of the Match.
