Courageous action
Despite falling behind: Southgate takes Kane off the pitch
Brave move by Gareth Southgate! Despite being behind, the "Three Lions" coach took goalscorer Harry Kane off the pitch in the 61st minute.
69 seconds after the restart of the second half, Spain took a 1-0 lead through Nico Williams. Reason enough for Southgate to take a risk. He replaced captain and top striker Harry Kane and brought on Ollie Watkins.
Kane reacts calmly
Watkins was already the match-winner in the semi-final when he scored in stoppage time to make it 2-1 against the Netherlands. Will he be able to do the same this time? In any case, Kane took the substitution in his stride, handing the captain's armband to Kyle Walker and clapping his hands with Southgate.
