England's Dramatic Return Sees White as Hero and Villain
England's friendly match against Uruguay ends in a draw, as Germany defeats Switzerland, and the Netherlands beats Norway in pre-World Cup warm-ups.
England returned to action at Wembley Stadium for the first time since the 2022 World Cup, facing off against Uruguay in a high-stakes friendly match. The game proved to be a tale of two halves, with Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling putting the Three Lions ahead in the first half, only for Edinson Cavani and Federico Valverde to equalize in the second period.
The real hero and villain of the day, however, was Ben White, who scored the opening goal for England but was later sent off for a second yellow card, leaving his team to hang on for the draw. The result will be a mixed bag for England manager Gareth Southgate, who will have seen positive signs but also areas for improvement ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
