Greece beat England for the first time in UEFA Nations League

·

Greece secured their first-ever win against England as Vangelis Pavlidis scored twice in a well-earned 2-1 victory in Nations League Group B2 at Wembley on Thursday.

Greece dedicated their victory to the late George Baldock, who was found dead at his pool in Glyfada, Athens on Wednesday. A minutes silence was held at the start of the match for Greece’s defender.

Pavlidis opened the scoring early in the second half with a precise finish, and although Greece had three more goals disallowed, they dominated a lackluster England side.

Jude Bellingham seemed to save England with an 87th-minute equaliser, but Pavlidis struck again in the fourth minute of stoppage time, slotting the ball past Jordan Pickford from close range.

The win moved Greece to the top of the table with a perfect nine points, while England, suffering their first defeat under interim manager Lee Carsley, dropped to second with six points.
