England 1-1 Russia: England denied win after late Russia goal

England were denied an opening Euro 2016 victory after a last-minute Russia goal saw the game drawn 1-1 in Marseille on Saturday evening.
Roy Hodgson's men created plenty of chances throughout the contest, with Eric Dier finally making the breakthrough with a curling free kick in the 73rd minute.
England looked set to see out the game for their first ever opening-game win at a European Championships, but a goal two minutes into added time from Russia captain Vasili Berezutski saw the points shared.
The Three Lions now return to their Chantilly base to prepare for their next Group B game against Wales on Thursday, while Russia play Slovakia on Wednesday.
