Manchester United star misfires as England humiliated in Euro 2016 exit

England have suffered their most embarrassing defeat in history as they were eliminated from Euro 2016 by debutants Iceland last night.

The Nordic country came from behind to win 2-1 in Nice with all the goals coming in the opening 18 minutes.

Wayne Rooney had given England the lead after only four minutes from the penalty spot after goalkeeper Hannes Þór Halldórsson had brought down Raheem Sterling.

The Three Lions were ahead for less than two minutes as man of the match candidate Ragnar Sigurðsson was left unmarked at the back pot to tap in from a flick on off a long throw.
