BREAKING: England beaten 2-1 by Greece at Wembley in Nations League

Transcript

00:00England interim manager Lee Carsley's all-out attacking strategy backfired badly as they

00:04slumped to a shock defeat by Greece in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley.

00:09Jude Bellingham's 87th-minute goal looked to have rescued a desperately disappointing

00:13England display after Vangelis Pavlidis gave Greece a deserved lead with a composed finish

00:17four minutes into the second half.

00:20Greece responded to earn a deserved victory as Pavlidis struck again deep into stoppage

00:24time on a chastening night for England and interim boss Carsley.

00:28In the absence of injured captain Harry Kane, Carsley went without a recognised striker

00:32by using Jude Bellingham in a false nine role and playing Phil Foden, Anthony Gordon, Buke

00:37Osaka and Cole Palmer.

00:39The result was a disjointed, confused mess, as Carsley's 100 per cent record since succeeding

00:44Gareth Southgate was ended by a well-organised Greece side, who actually had the ball in

00:48the net five times only to see three ruled out for offside.

00:52England were fortunate to survive until four minutes after the break, especially when keeper

00:56Jordan Pickford was stranded outside his area early on and had to be rescued by Levi

01:01Colwell's superb goal-line clearance from Tassos Bakasidas, but it was no surprise when

01:05Pavlidis put Greece ahead with a fine finish.

01:08The Greek players interrupted their celebrations to lift a shirt bearing the name of George

01:12Baldock, their former international colleague, who died on Wednesday aged 31.

01:17Carsley, seeing his tactical plan failing, sent on strike duo Ali Watkins and Dominic

01:22Solanke, winning his second full-cap seven years after his first.

01:27England pushed for an unlikely victory after Bellingham fired high past Greece keeper Odysseas

01:31Vlachadimos, but the visitors were a threat all night and punished Carsley's side once

01:35more in a dramatic finale.
