Completely against the run of play. Holland has totally bent England over most of this half, but still, you can’t leave gaps open at the back Ike they just did there.
Look at these skirmishes and the emotion of the players. Look at the squad selections, particularly some players who just played in the CL final.
Not one person involved in any capacity with the four semi final teams took these games here as just glorified friendlies. Plenty of battle from all teams involved.
And Walker 100% deserves that own goal since he was lazy in starting his recovery run. He was a solid 10 yards closer to the ball when Promes started running but he took 3-4 lazy steps because he didn't want to sprint back just in case.
Edit: Obviously Stone really deserves it, but Walker easily could have prevented it after the save by Pickford.
England just do not have the technical ability and general skill to be a team who insists on playing the ball out of the back. Undone twice in similar fashion.
