There are some moments in football where your mind just registers a goal before the shot is even taken, and that happened tonight as John Stones had the freedom of Wembley to head home a corner against Scotland.
It’s a solid header that leaves David Marshall rooted, but it crashed off the inside of the post and the ball just wouldn’t fall for any England player on the rebound:

Scotland have started with a lot of energy but England’s class is starting to show, but they’ll want to make sure they don’t go on to regret that miss.
