England have finished as winners of Group C following their draw with Slovenia in the final game of Group C.

It was far from impressive yet again from Gareth Southgate's side who were looking to respond to cricitism over their performance against Denmark.

It was a match bereft of chances as Cole Palmer's curled effort in the 89th minute came the closest to opening the scoring.

But in truth even that was easily collected by Slovenia goalkeeper Jan Oblak, with a Slovenia boot threatening to cause the most issues.

In the end they had to wait for a favour from Slovenia to secure their place atop the group as they could not find a win for themselves.

England played out a second draw of the group stage as they limped over the line

The goalless draw in the other tie saw England over the line and they will now avoid the likes of Spain, Germany, Portugal and Spain in the knockout phases.

Finishing top of Group C means that England will face the third place finishers from either Group D or Group E.

The most likely outcome is that they will face Ronald Koeman's side who fell to a 3-2 defeat against Austria earlier in the day.

The Three Lions could still take on one of Romania, Belgium, Slovakia or Ukraine with all four teams still capable of a third-placed finished.

For England to face a member of Group E, Hungary will need to be eliminated by either of the Group E or Group F finishers.
