England 1-1 Russia: Player Ratings as England Concede Disappointing Last-Gasp Equaliser
"?England fell victim to a stoppage-time equaliser vs Russia, playing to a 1-1 draw in the opening game of their Euro 16 campaign.
Despite dominating throughout and going ahead through Eric Dier's cracking free-kick, they were unable to hold onto their lead, allowing Vasili Berezutski to score a header in the last minute of stoppage time.
Here's how the players rated in this match.
Goalkeeper and Defence
Joe Hart - 6.5
Near quiet night, but still beaten in the end."?
Kyle Walker - 7
Bombed forward and contributed to the offence well. Made the Russian defence look silly on occasion.
Chris Smalling - 6
Could have scored an early goal. Didn't have much work defensively, but could have probably done more to prevent Russia's goal.
Gary Cahill - 7
The Chelsea man was booked, but had a good game at the back and organised his defensive line properly.
Danny Rose - 7
Could do nothing about the goal. Played well and formed a good full-back partnership with Kyle Walker.
Midfield
Eric Dier - 9
Mopped up well in midfield and scored England's only goal with a great free-kick. Immense performance.
"?Dele Alli - 8.5
The youngster looked like he'd been playing for England for years. Brilliant game overall.
Wayne Rooney - 8
Pulled the strings in midfield with great passing and intelligent movement.
Jack Wilshere - N/A
78-min sub.
James Milner - N/A
87-min sub.
Attack
Adam lallana - 6.5
Missed several opportunities in the first half. Livewire performance, but lacked composure in front of goal"?.
Harry Kane - 6.5
Quiet night for the Premier League's Golden Boot winner. Could not convert England's dominance into goals.
Raheem Sterling - 6
Run at the defence well, but lacked that finishing move.
