Three groups have now been completed, with Ukraine and Finland each ending with three points in third place of their respective groups.


Of the six groups in total, four third-placed teams will go thru and with England already having 4 points they are now unable to miss out as a third-placed team.


Third is the worst position Gareth Southgate's guys can finish in Group D, so it is now impossible for the Three Lions to crash out in the group tiers of the tournament.

The results on Monday night additionally means that if Scotland beat Croatia at Hampden Park on Tuesday, they will be guaranteed to go through, with their tally of 4 points impossible to be worse than Ukraine and Finland's three points.


Steve Clarke's side will be without star man Billy Gilmour, though, after he tested positive for Covid-19 in the aftermath of the England game.
