England fans are not happy with the performance of one of their players as they lost the Euro 2024 final.

Despite finding an equaliser late in the game through Cole Palmer, England lost their second successive European Championship final on Sunday as Spain defeated them 2-1.

An 86th minute winner from substitute Mikel Oyarzabal won the match for Luis de la Fuente and sealed a seventh successive tournament win for Spain.

And England fans have placed the blame on right-back Kyle Walker, holding him accountable for both of Spain's goals.

One fan pointed out Walker's poor performance, writing on X: "Kyle walker responsible for both Spanish goals. You cannot write this script."

Popular online football personality Mark Goldbridge added: "Don't ever tell me Kyle Walker isn't just pace. Both goals on him"

While another criticised the defender for his performances in the entire tournament, writing: "From absolutely nothing. Walker has been a disaster all game - all tournament."

The Manchester City defender was responsible for marking left-winger Nico Williams during the match, but failed to stop the 22-year-old from opening the scoring in the match as he put Spain ahead early in the second half.

Walker was also failed to stop Chelsea full-back Marc Cucurella from making a pass to Oyarzabal late in the match, who calmly found the back of the net and won the tournament for his tournament.

At 34-years-old, it is likely that Euro 2024 will be the last European Championships for Walker, and some fans have suggested who they believe should replace him in upcoming tournaments.

One fan wrote: "You lost the game when you decided to not even give Trent Alexander Arnold a single minute."

While another added: "Trent Alexander Arnold is a world class footballer. What he can do with the ball from right back is obscene. He can control the game from there. He is a generational talent."
