Israel game goes ahead after Irish players’ vote; reaction to Spain’s win over England – matchday live

Hello and welcome to matchday live. We’ll be bringing you all the reaction to England’s 3-2 defeat to Spain at Wembley, including the now common detractions about the defence and Thomas Tuchel’s in-game management. How much should we be reading into a pretty fun Nations League opener?

Scotland were also in action in a fairly predictable goalless draw at Slovenia in Sebastien Pocognoli’s first game in charge. Today’s match between Israel and the Republic of Ireland in Hungary will go ahead after the Ireland team stopped short of a boycott. Their goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu has refused to play in protest at Israel’s military action in Gaza. Wales are also back in action in Denmark after their opening defeat to Portugal.

In the Women’s Super League, there’s a Merseyside derby at Anfield and a heavyweight clash at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea take on Arsenal, with both sides looking to keep pace with the champions Manchester City, who kept up their 100% record yesterday. London City Lionesses continued their impressive start yesterday thanks to a first goal from Alexia Putellas.

We’ll also bring you any developments and comments on the Manchester City case after the club were found guilty on virtually all counts of breaching Premier League financial rules on Friday.
