England went through to the last 16 at Euro 2024 on Monday night without kicking a ball after Albania were beaten 1-0 by Spain. The result in Düsseldorf means Gareth Southgate’s side will finish, at worst, as one of the third-placed teams who qualify for the knockout rounds.
The top two in each group and the four best third-placed countries advance and the four points England secured by beating Serbia and drawing with Denmark mean they go into Tuesday’s final group game against Slovenia knowing they will continue at the tournament in Germany.
