Serbia 0-1 England: Jude Bellingham stars as Three Lions hold on in second half to top Group C

Gareth Southgate's side impressed in the opening 45 minutes, with the brilliant Jude Bellingham heading them in front after just 13 minutes from Bukayo Saka's deflected cross. They should have then doubled their lead when Kyle Walker burst into the box midway through that first half but sent his cross-shot wide of the far post and beyond the reach of Phil Foden and Harry Kane.

Against Serbia - and on plenty of previous occasions - England have found a way to get over the line. But it's hardly a recipe for tournament glory. England went from convincing to concerning in this opening game. The authority and dominance of the opening half hour turned to panic by the end, as Serbia stepped it up. For all the talk about England's attacking assets in this squad, they were once again dropping deep and hanging on for the final whistle.
