The roar of the Wembley crowd told its own story. From the brink of despair to a glorious, morale-boosting comeback in the space of 12 minutes and then a cruel sucker punch.
It was a six-goal thriller which at least restored some hope for England in their last match before the World Cup. Gareth Southgate looked mightily relieved at the final whistle, hugged his opposite number Hansi Flick and then probably thought about what might have been.
The glorious four minutes after Harry Kane smashed a penalty into the top corner to put England ahead so late on in a remarkable comeback from being 2-0 down. But then, rather in keeping with the defensive shambles, England keeper Nick Pope gifted Kai Havertz a last gasp equaliser.
