Hodgson criticised for his subs last game.... WELL... Today!!!!! Sturridge, Vardy win it for us. GET IN THERE! #ENG

After keeping his place, "?"?Raheem Sterling definitely didn't help his case with a dreadful miss just a few minutes into the game. Needless to say, he was off at half-time.

Sterling misses from 5 yards out. We've seen that before. #cantfinishhisdinner

Will he still be in the team for Slovakia on Monday?

Talking about a £50m player like he's two Bob, #Sterling
can't finish,
hasn't gone past anyone.
Playing too narrow
Doesn't look fit

"?"?

Hart ran further to celebrate than Sterling ran the whole time he was on ?

"?"?Joe Hart also came in for criticism of his after a howler gifted Wales the opening goal.

BREAKING: Everton lower their £40m offer for Joe Hart down to 68p and half a Twix #Euro2016 #ENGWAL

'A world class goalkeeper shouldn't be beaten from there'

Hart is never world class, but a bang average one shouldn't be either.#ENG #WAL

Marcus Rashford ended the day a record breaker after becoming England's youngest ever player at the European Championships, lowering the mark set by Wayne Rooney in 2004."?

18y 228d - Marcus Rashford is the youngest player to play at the EUROs for #ENG, 4 days younger than Rooney in 2004 (v France). Fledgling.

Marcus Rashford:

Feb 25th: Makes debut for United.

June 16th: Plays for #ENG at #Euro2016

Incredible story! pic.twitter.com/fuR6r4LPnH

Vardy and Sturridge will get the headlines but what about Rashford? Cool, unflustered and playing without fear.
