England vs Italy: LIVE reaction as Lorenzo Insigne scores late penalty in VAR controversy

Gareth Southgate's men put in an impressive showing on Friday night as they ran out 1-0 winners over Holland.

Manchester United's Jesse Lingard scored the winner at Johan Cruijff Arena to stake his claim to be in England's squad for the 2018 Russia World Cup.

England come up against Italy this evening, another side along with Holland who won't be competing in Russia, to test their skils further.

Southgate has just two more international friendlies after this one so time is running out for players to impress.

Which player will stand up and be counted tonight to put his case forward for a seat on that plane?

ENGLAND VS ITALY LIVE STREAM

England 1-1 Italy

FT: The Three Lions can't find another goal. England are held to a 1-1 draw at Wembley as VAR controversy stirkes again.

87 mins: GOAL! Insigne smashes it past Butland.

86 mins: Italy have a penalty!

Chiesa produces a quick, slaloming run into the box and goes down in some pain, and the corner is awarded, but the referee goes to look at the incident using VAR technology and judges Tarkowski to have stepped on his foot.

76 mins: BIG chance for Italy. Insigne plays a neat ball to Jorginho, but the midfielder’s effort on the volley drifts just wide. It would have been a delightful goal.

67 mins: Some tough tackling from Jesse Lingard wins the ball back in midfield and the move ends in a shot over the bar from Raheem Sterling.

Marcus Rashford comes on Vardy,

56mins: Immobile finds himself in space at the back post but Davide Zappacosta’s cross is just too high for the forward.

46 mins: No changes at the break for England. Elsewhere, Scotland have beaten Hungary 1-0 in Alex Macleish’s first game in charge and Spain lead Argentina 2-0 in Madrid.

HT: Not a bad first 45 for the Three Lions. Sterling looking like England's biggest threat with Vardy linking up well.

Should Southgate ring the changes at HT or stick with what he's seen so far?

37 mins: England are looking very promising on the attack. This time Raheem Sterling gets his legs on before passing to Ashley Young.

The Manchester United defender fails to connect properly though and his shot drags wide of the post.

26 mins: GOAL! Minutes later Vardy absolutely rockets the ball into the net following a quick England attack.

He takes one touch on the edge of the box before rifling the ball past Donnarumma.

The referee had a quick VAR check to see if England took the free-kick too quickly but the goal stands.

23 mins: Big chance for Jamie Vardy inside the box but Donnarumma makes himself big to deny the Leicester forward.

12 mins: Antonio Candreva and Ashley Young are enjoying a fierce battle down the right.

Immobile has the best chance of the game as the ball comes in from the right but heads just over the bar. A let off for England.

5 mins: Our man Matt Dunn at Wembey:

Immaculate memorial to Jimmy Armfield, Cyrille Regis and Davide Astori - England fans at their very best. As for the opening exchanges, strangely muted at Wembley. People want to like Southgate's England but are not quite sure.

3 mins: Barely any time on the clock and John Stones is having a nightmare. 

First he tries to play Ciro Immobile offside before he gets caught on the ball inside the area by the forward again just a minute later.

He just about manages to recover but that’s not going to settle his nerves.

Debutant Tarkowski is supposed to be the nervous one!.

KICK OFF 

7.58pm: The teams are out and the national anthems are being sung. Get your last minute bets in people! Kick off is moments away.

7.50pm: Some pre-match thoughts from Gareth Southgate.

“We wanted to keep some stability. We need to look at others players too though and tonight is a good test for us,” he said.

"James Tarkowski has done well with us, his club and he fits the way we play. We need to see other options at centre-back too for this summer.

"It is nice for Jack Butland as most of his caps have been away from Wembley. Dele Alli hasn't been able to train fully this week but he is of course, a very important player for us."

19:33pm: Not that you should get bored of watching England on the TV, but if you do find yourselves staring into space when it’s 0-0 at half time without a single shot then we do give you permission to check out any of the other games on offer tonight.
