England - Skottland  0 - 0

First goalless draw between England and Scotland at Wembley - match stats

  • In their 115th meeting in all competitions, England and Scotland shared a goalless draw for only the fourth time, also doing so in 1872, 1970 and 1987, although this was the first time in a game at Wembley in the 33rd meeting there.
  • This was England's 17th goalless draw at a major tournament (Euros + World Cup), two more than any other team in the history of those competitions.
  • England have kept 14 clean sheets in their last 18 matches in all competitions (W14 D2 L2) since losing 2-1 to the Czech Republic in a European Championship qualifier in October 2019.
  • Scotland have failed to score in eight of their last 12 matches at major tournaments (W2 D3 L7), and are one of only two teams to have played twice at Euro 2020 and failed to score, along with Turkey.
  • Since the new Wembley opened in 2007, this was only England's second ever goalless draw there in a competitive fixture, also drawing 0-0 in October 2010 against Montenegro in a European Championships qualifier under Fabio Capello.
  • This was Luke Shaw's first appearance for England at a major tournament since June 2014 against Costa Rica in the World Cup, 2,551 days ago. The only two players with longer gaps between tournament appearances for the Three Lions are Martin Keown (2,917 days, 1992-2000) and Tony Adams (2,912 days, 1988-96).
  • Jack Grealish came off the bench and won four fouls, the most by a substitute at Euro 2020 and the most by a sub in a Euros match since Eder won five for Portugal in the Euro 2016 final vs France.
  • At 25 years and 31 days, England named their youngest ever starting XI at a major tournament, with the previous youngest their XI against Belgium in the 2018 World Cup third-place play-off match (25y 175d).
  • Tonight was England's 32nd consecutive international match naming a unique starting XI, England's longest run of naming an XI for the first time since a run of 56 games between 1990 and 1996.

What's next?

Group D plays to a conclusion on Tuesday, with England hosting the Czech Republic at Wembley and Scotland facing Croatia at Hampden Park. Both games are at 20:00 BST and all four team can still qualify for the last 16.
