England 2-1 Poland LIVE RESULT: Harry Maguire secures crucial three points as Three Lions recover from Stones error
ENGLAND have beaten Poland after a late strike from Harry Maguire.
Raheem Sterling was brought down in the box in the 18th minute, leaving the Harry Kane to open the scoring from the penalty spot.

Stones, however, atoned for his mistake by heading across the goal for Harry Maguire to half volley home.
