Hodgson said: “The fans were magnificent again. It’s a real disappointment for us that we haven’t been able to give them a win, but I’ve got to say I don’t think we can do so much more than we did.

“We dominated the game from start to finish and had so many attempts and so many chances as well. One day we’re going to put those chances away.

“As far as I’m concerned I can’t fault the effort and the work that the lads put in and it’s a little bit embarrassing that we’ve played three games now and in each of the three games it’s been attack versus defence.

“I actually never thought I’d see an England team being able in a tournament to dominate three games as much as we’ve done, so that gives me some sort of satisfaction.

“I’m pretty sure that sooner or later we’re going to make somebody pay because if we keep dominating and creating chances like we’re doing, we’re going to score goals one day.”

Wales leapfrogged England, their conquerors last Thursday, topping Group B by beating Russia 3-0.
