England 0-0 Scotland: Harry Kane frustrated by fearless Scots

 


England were frustrated by a valiant Scotland in their Euro 2020 Group D clash on Friday as they could only battle to a 0-0 draw in opposition to their rivals.


Few would have expected such a close contest but the Three Lions more than met their match as they struggled to break down their opponents on home soil.


John Stones came the closest early in the match, heading Mason Mount's nook onto the post.


After that the best probabilities then fell to the visitors, as Jordan Pickford denied Stephen O'Donnell before Lyndon Dykes' shot was cleared off the line in the 2nd half.


Gareth Southgate rung the changes in an strive to galvanise his side - even substituting his underperforming captain Harry Kane - however Scotland stood firm and looked the more likely to get a winner.


This match has promised so much for so long, and it duly delivered.


We asked for a contest, we got a battle.


England came into the fixture as massive favourites over their competitors but were met with a impolite awakening and put to the task.


You could tell Scotland were up for it from the first whistle as Lyndon Dykes straight away clattered into Luke Shaw, which quickly set the tone for their aggressive pressing and rough-and-ready approach.
