2 great assists from Palace players, great flick on from Guehi leaving Bellingham the easy bit and then Eze superbly found Toney for the second.

Best headline has to go to the Sun "Saved by the Bell"

One more point

I know it’s not what was asked, but two palace managers played in the same team in Spain 82, Sir Steve and Trevor Francis, although at the time they didn’t know it

It's not just you.

The players haven't performed, but the set up and slow and pedestrian approach haven't helped.
Nonetheless, a pathway to the final has opened up having been placed in the easier side of the draw.

I was amused by Southgate's claim that he always saw an equaliser coming almost as if it was all part of the plan.
Politicians and football managers have a unique way on viewing events.

Why has Gareth Southgate suddenly turned into Peter Taylor? Are aliens involved?

No, it’s me too. Smartass, I’m so sophisticated and clever Royball. He has a cunning plan. Play it safe. Just get through. Win the trophy on penalties after a 0-0 draw. Idiot. Spain will win this.

Watching England it doesn’t seem likely, but boring has won this competition on a few occasions. What happens to Southgate if that should happen.?
