Italy proved to be a much harder task for England. Some dreadful defending in the first 10 minutes could have seen them 4 down.
The play was drab and unexciting until a bit of very quick thinking by Lingard saw Vardy smash the ball home.
Italy appeared to have accepted defeat but woke up towards the end.
A doubtful penalty - we must get this VAR thing sorted- saw Italy clinch a deserved draw.
I know England have a few missing "stars" but this is not good enough. Things need to improve before we go to Russia.
I have a ticket for United v Swansea on Saturday. No one son has managed to get in a company box. Taking our youngest grandson. Watched him play for school yesterday. Bit one-sided - they won 15 - 0!!!! He got four.
