England vs Ukraine LIVE: Latest score and goal updates from Euro 2024 qualifier today

Harry Kane becomes England’s all-time goalscorer with a historic win over Italy

England host Ukraine in their next Euro 2024 qualifier as Gareth Southgate’s men look to secure back-to-back wins after their historic victory over Italy last week.

A first win in Italy since 1961 gave Southgate’s team the perfect start to Group C, although the manager was happier with his side’s performance in the first half than in the second as they clinched a 2-1 win with 10 men . “We showed two sides without a doubt,” said the Three Lions boss.

Harry Kane broke the all-time goal record in that game with a first-half penalty. It was Kane’s first international cap since missing a second penalty in the World Cup quarter-final loss to France.

Ahead of today’s qualifier, more than 1,000 Ukrainians have been invited to Wembley as guests of the FA following Russia’s invasion of the country, with England also planning a show of solidarity ahead of kick-off.

1679852077

England 2-0 Ukraine

71 minutes: Poor! A well-crafted routine sees Bukayo Saka jumping over the ball before James Maddison flicks it back to him.

With a better angle on goal, Saka shoots but hooks his curl wide of the far post.

69 minutes: Ruslan Malinovsky conceded the game’s first yellow card after Saka’s quick feet carried the ball around the midfielder just outside the box.

England 2-0 Ukraine

66 minutes: Nearly! James Maddison takes the ball and drives through a gap onto the left inside channel. He carries the ball into the penalty area and tries to slip Bukayo Saka in.

His past is a bit too heavy and rolls closer to goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin, who picks it up just before Saka gets there.

1679851424

England 2-0 Ukraine

60 minutes: Played an hour at Wembley. It was a cautious quarter of an hour for Ukraine, with England controlling the game without having to expend too much energy.

They are very solid defensively and are supported by Ukraine’s slow, static nature of build-up play.

1679851347

England 2-0 Ukraine

57 minutes: Close! England pushes the ball around the field beautifully and adds an extra man through Kyle Walker’s forward run. That leaves Bukayo Saka space on the right side of the box and his low cross comes to Jude Bellingham.

The pass is easy in front of him and Bellingham’s guided touch can only knock the ball wide of the target.

51 minutes: England’s next corner comes to Jordan Hendersonw who bowls it to Ben Chilwell. Chilwell then shoves a pass into the feet of James Maddison, who goes on target and fires a shot high and wide.
