Harry Maguire has been sent off for England after a poor opening 31 minutes vs Denmark in the Nations League.
The Manchester United captain was cautioned in the seventh minute after a nasty challenge on striker Yussuf Poulsen.
Gareth Southgate's side looked sloppy in the early stages and Maguire dived in again on Kasper Dolberg, with referee Jesus Gil Manzano giving him his marching orders.
Moments later, England found themselves behind after Kyle Walker gave away a penalty, which Christian Eriksen dispatched.
Oh no Harry Maguire
The Manchester United man is sent off for a second yellow card after just 30 minutes v Denmark

Fans on social media have reacted to Maguire's performance and his poor start to the season with United seems to have carried over to international duty.
Every civilisation seems to be against @HarryMaguire93 at present. Tough times, though, make us stronger.

Harry Maguire's misery is complete. Second yellow card and sent off. Maguire's performance has been a total nightmare from first to last - all 31 minutes of it. Under pressure since that reckless early challenge.

Harry Maguire has just been sent off for England. Luckily for us, his suspension doesn't apply to club football, so he'll be available for selection for Manchester United this weekend.

3 - Harry Maguire is the third player to be sent off for the England men's team at Wembley after Paul Scholes vs Sweden in June 1999 and Steven Gerrard vs Ukraine in September 2012. Orders.

In 6 days time, Maguire has to play against Neymar and Mbappe in the Champions League, this should be fun.

Maguire's sending off saw Gareth Southgate bring on Tyrone Mings for Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who was making his full international debut alongside Reece James.
Do you think England will get back in this game?
