Wait 5 sec.

England missed a golden opportunity to beat world champions Spain with a catalogue of errors leading to a 3-2 defeat at Wembley.The Three Lions found themselves 2-1 up at the break, but a Harry Kane missed penalty proved the catalyst for another collapse.England threw away another lead in a big gameGettyEngland had initially done well to recover from a Marc Guehi howler that allowed Lamine Yamal to open the scoring inside two minutes.Thomas Tuchel’s side battled back to lead at the break through Anthony Gordon and Kane and then had a golden chance for three.However, Kane missed from the penalty spot, and a rejuvenated Spain made the most of the let-off by turning the game on its head.Read below for the full player ratings from talkSPORT’s Adrian Durham…Quick off the MarcAn unforgivable schoolboy error from defender Guehi, who left England with a mountain to climb after just a minute at Wembley.It was Guehi’s huge howler in a 3-3 draw with Everton that effectively ended Manchester City’s Premier League title challenge in May.Months later, the 26-year-old had another major gaffe, but for his country, as he dawdled in possession with his first touch on the ball.Ignoring the opportunity to pass to Nico O’Reilly, he instead turned blind towards his goalkeeper and had his pocket picked by Lamine Yamal, who raced clear to slot past James Trafford.England trailed after two minutes due to Guehi’s major mistakeGettyFlash GordonThe scorer of England’s goal in the World Cup semi-final, now playing in Spain, popped up with another big strike – fittingly against La Roja.Gordon spoke at length about the Three Lions’ identity in the pre-match press conference, and the fact that his equaliser came from pace and power on the counter-attack rather than tiki-taka football underlined his argument.His now-El Clasico rival Jude Bellingham was the man who drove forward and slipped him in, and the Barcelona winger did the rest by slotting past Unai Simon into the near post.The winger was taken off on 70 minutes, with Durham slamming Tuchel for that decision which he believes ‘made no sense.’Gordon is the first-ever England player to score more than once against the number- one FIFA-ranked team (since their inception in 1992)GettyBallon WarKane answered the goalscoring call from his Ballon d’Or rival with his fortuitous header deflecting off Cucurella to give England the lead.However, the Bayern Munich talisman fluffed his big moment to pull clear of Yamal from the penalty spot when he rattled the crossbar.Kane, who has memories of missing from 12 yards for his country against a European powerhouse, gave himself a sense of deja vu.He had scored nine penalties since missing that effort against France in 2022, but his spot-kick run ended in emphatic fashion at Wembley.Kane has missed a penalty for England for the first time since the 2022 World Cup against FranceGettyAdrian Durham's player ratingsTrafford – 5 – Put under a press but also made saves. Faced far too many 1-on-1s because of England’s dreadful defendingQuansah – 2 – Part of a dysfunctional back 4, and he contributed to itKonsa – 3 – Nowhere near good enough, along with the rest of the England defenceGuehi – 2 – Terrible start to the game, giving away a goalO’Reilly – 2 – An assist but also a massive error for Spain’s 2nd goal, all over the place at timesMLS – 7 – Busy in midfield, decent without being specialAnderson – 5 – Ok when things were going well, needed to bring authority when Spain were on topBellingham – 7 – I liked a lot of what he did, but when things got tough, we needed even more from one of our very best playersSaka – 6 – Fantastic battle with Cucurella, but if England are serious, he needs to dominate battles like thatGordon – 9 – Dynamic, brilliant goal and played his part in the build-up. Taking him off made no sense to meKane – 7 – Terrific header for the goal, but slipping over for a penalty shouldn’t happenGarner – 4 – I’m a big fan, but he didn’t bring too much; great run but terrible cross on 85 minutesRogers – 3 – Replacing Gordon was a tough task; nowhere near enough qualityMGW – 4 – Tuchel brought him on late and brought him on out of positionDCL – 4 – not given enough timeTuchel – 2 – Some truly terrible substitutions. It’s becoming a very, very bad habit. Masterclass in killing the mood of the fans.
