Yesterday’s Slovenia stalemate was the Three Lions’ first 0-0 draw and the first time they had dropped points in a qualifier since their clash with Ukraine back in September 2013.

Many supporters saw England’s opening qualifier in Slovakia last month heading the same way, a goalless encounter, but luckily for former boss Sam Allardyce, Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana popped up with a last-gasp winner.

Unfortunately, the luck soon ran out for ‘Big Sam’ after his sole game in charge!
