ENGLAND came from behind to earn a point against North Macedonia in Skopje on Monday evening.

The Balkan hosts were awarded a disputed spot-kick four minutes before the interval when England debutant Rico Lewis caught Bojan Miovski's with his hand as he jumped up for a header.

North Macedonia captain Enis Bardhi pounced to put his side ahead from the rebound, after his penalty was saved by Jordan Pickford.
