Although Ukraine had their chances and experienced some pressure after the break they never truly seemed capable of winning only two games against England in ten attempts.

Ukraine who almost missed making the World Cup but fell to Wales in a playoff would be happy to have finished their most difficult match.

Yet as soon as the final whistle blew all passion was set aside and Englands main concern was building on their first triumph against Italy on Italian territory in 62 years.

Prior to the match Kane who had been given the golden boot fluffed a close-range volley and then prodded an appealing James Maddison ball over.

While Ukraine which had a few early half-chances had a lot of vigour in the second half they lacked the talent to disturb an England team that was comfortably ahead.

Nonetheless Ukraines supporters stuck around until the very end and gave their team a thunderous ovation in a sea of yellow and blue.
