Irelands hard work of holding England scoreless and to no shot on target for 52 minutes gone to waste with giving away that penalty and going down to ten men.

God save the King. Get in.
Yeah, it gets downgraded to yellow as a result of “double jeopardy” but you don’t get away with it completely just because you are already on a yellow.
2-0 game over Gordon
It's all unravelling for Ireland now. That pen changed the game.
Gordon gets his first ever England goal. 2-0.
I think it is only a red if you're not making a genuine effort for the ball and just take the player out.
Irish collapse here
That’s some comedy defending.
Is there a way Bellingham wouldn't have scored without that tackle, apart from a better timed tackle?
Now a 2nd.
Now a 2nd.
Scales should have shown more polish there.
You reckon?
Yep, that's correct. If a penalty is awarded at the same time, that is.
Still, he received a second booking, so different rules apply
No. It never is when a penalty is awarded.
Ah I think collapse is harsh. We're losing to a vastly superior team.
That's wrong. It still is if there's no attempt to play the ball, like pulling the shirt
Look who you’re replying to.
Thanks for coming Ireland
Yeah, the deliberate or 'professional' foul is.
Out of sight now it seems.
Yes, it’s a yellow…
Greece are 2-0 as well. Except England are now 3-0.
It really is a collapse!
Of all people to score.
He's brilliant, makes everything look effortless. It's just a question of can he be arsed and fortunately tonight he can.
3-0
Ireland are absolutely dreadful
Gally!!
wish I'd stayed in the pub now.The defence has fallen apart.
Ffs. He's off there, no? His arm?
famous last words
Have that you Irish chaps.
He stole that off Bellingham
He looks a better player under Simeone I must say.
Arm doesn't count for offside
We want 10. We want 10.
Nah, an inferior team with 10 men don't have to 'collapse' to get beaten. The real question is why you found it so difficult against 11 when Finland waltzed through us the other day.
What does winning the group mean?
Didn't you beat Finland?
