    That's all from us. Thanks for your company and see you again soon!
  • 95'
    FT: England 2-1 Poland!! All over at Wembley and England get a hard earned win. Southgate's men were dominant in the first period and scored through a Kane penalty, but Poland came fighting back in the second half. Poland should have had a penalty for a Maguire handball and then Moder levelled after Stones made a major blunder at the back. Poland then picked up, but then England finished stronger and Maguire scored five minutes from time to give England a huge win.
