New Delhi: England conceded a group-stage goal after eight long years, as Morten Hjulmand scored an excellent goal from outside the penalty box in the Euro 2024 Group C match at the Waldstadion in Frankfurt, Germany. The English were left stunned, with no chance for Jordan Pickford to save it. The ball clipped on the post and went inside the bottom left corner of the goal net.
They conceded the last goal against Wales in the UEFA Euro 2016 when Gareth Bale scored an exquisite free-kick from the edge of the penalty box. Since then, Gareth Southgate’s side held a strong record of consistent clean sheets over the last few years.
In UEFA Euro 2020, they were drawn with Croatia, Scotland, and Czechia in Group D. They did not concede any goals, and secured the top spot after the end of the group stage matches. The Three Lions won two games and drew one out of the three matches in the Euro 2020.
The Three Lions will look to dominate and concede less in their upcoming fixtures. Maintaining a clean sheet record was a positive note for Southgate, but it has come to an end.
