When the Swedish referee, Andreas Ekberg, was advised by the VAR to consult the pitchside monitor, everybody knew what was coming. And it was the same with Harry Kane, when he addressed the subsequent penalty.
Hard and low into the bottom corner, Kane had his 49th England goal, Wayne Rooney’s record of 53 getting ever nearer. And England had a slightly streaky victory over a Switzerland team who might have been two goals in front before Luke Shaw’s equaliser in first-half stoppage time.
