With the 0-0 draw against Slovenia, the Three Lions finish the group with five points, winning only one game (the opener against Serbia), and drawing the subsequent two.

How it happened
Southgate insisted on the team that started the first two games, bar one change, as he replaced Trent Alexander Arnold in the midfield with Chelsea Conor Gallagher.
The adjustment did not have the required effect, as the worrying trend of struggling to dominate football matches against inferior sides continued.
England's approach was drab and listless for most of the first-half; however, they did get chances off and even turned the ball into the net when Kieran Trippier squared it to him to tap into an open goal. However, the Newcastle United defender was offside before assisting Saka, hence the goal was chopped off.
The second half was more of the same for the one-time world champions, as they managed to make the clash complicated despite the talent disparity.
England showed some life later in the game, however, when Southgate rang the changes. Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo and Chelsea's Cole Palmer in particular stood out, as they came on for their first appearance of the tournament.
