THE LAST TIME ENGLAND LOST THREE IN A ROW..

...was in June 1988, in the group stage of the European Championship. But Bobby Robson’s boys bounced back in style with just one defeat in their next 23 matches (2-1 to Uruguay in a friendly) as they qualified for the 1990 World Cup in Italy, and then proceeded to reach the semi-final. Match 23 was the agonising defeat to West Germany on penalties. zSaturday saw the first defeat at Wembley under Gareth Southgate (W6 D4 L1). The only two games in which they have conceded more than one goal during this run were both against Spain (also 2-2 in November 2016). zNone of the last nine Spain managers have lost their first game in charge (W7 D2), with Luis Suarez the last to do so in 1988 (2-1 v Yugoslavia). zEngland have conceded six goals in their past three games, as many as in their previous 13. Just 120 seconds separated Marcus Rashford’s opener for England from Saul Niguez equalising with his first goal for Spain.
