He says on the ITV commentary: “What I will say, if you watch his body position, he’s slightly off to the left, he’s put his foot across the defender, but he’s trying to protect the ball, I don’t think that should be overturned.”

Djed Spence definitely puts his body in the right place to win that foul – so much so that VAR will ask Turpin to go to the screen.
Refereeing expert Christina Unkel tells ITV: “Clear and obvious error and should be recommended for an overturn of a penalty.”
ITV analyst Lee Dixon weighs in: “He’s manufactured that, but I don’t care. Can he put the right leg where he wants? Has he initiated the foul? Not a clear and obvious error for me.”

Just as I updated you about that Kane chance, Nyland spills a Rogers shot from range – and Bellingham is first on the scene to crash home his, and England’s, second of the game. Advantage England.
