England vs. Germany result, highlights & analysis as Three Lions ... (Sporting News)

England and Germany played out a thrilling 3-3 draw at Wembley in the UEFA Nations League.

Kane was again on the scoresheet as he added to Raheem Sterling's opener with a second goal in 11 second-half minutes. 5 mins from kickoff: The players are in the tunnel. "It is great to see all the fans here. Foden and Raheem Sterling get in the box but the Tottenham striker's cross evades everyone. 25th min: Germany have had 65% possession so far but then England come so close to opening the scoring! But unlike his goal against Leicester this season this one doesn't fly in and barely troubles the keeper. Plenty of encouragement for Southgate to take into the World Cup with the open play goal drought ended. 51st min: Maguire gives the ball away sloppily and the Manchester United defender then trips Jamal Musiala in the box when one on one. Yet, on squad selections this year you feel Alexander-Arnold is at the bottom of his right-back pecking order and for a cautious Southgate, defensive stability is his priority, of which Alexander-Arnold isn't an option. The two combined brilliantly to draw the home side level and after Sterling missed a couple of chances in the first half, his Chelsea team-mate showed him just how it's done by rattling home his powerful strike at the first opportunity. On evidence of the 1-0 defeat to Italy last week, you'd struggle to see England getting out the group stage but there's plenty of positives to take from the second half, at least, against Germany tonight. The turnaround looked complete when Nico Schlotterbeck crunched Bellingham in the box, and again after VAR intervened, a penalty was awarded.
