England fans were left completely baffled by one player's positioning in Slovakia's goal at Euro 2024.
Ivan Schranz opened the scoring in the 25th minute after poking home to give his nation the lead in their last-16 clash.
Marc Guehi, who won't be available for the next game if the Three Lions go through, and John Stones were exposed at the back, but England fans couldn't believe Kyle Walker's role in the goal.
Walker was in a deep position and seemed to be distracted by Lukas Haraslín.

In doing so, he kept the Slovak goalscorer onside to the dismay of fans on social media.
People online slammed the Manchester City defender's positioning as Schranz made no mistake in front of goal.
One X user wrote: "If Trent had the same 15 minutes as Kyle Walker, he’d be hung, drawn and quartered in front of Big Ben tonight."

A second tweeted: "Kyle Walker what were you doing..."
A third added: "Look where Kyle Walker at for the goal... Imagine if that was Trent..."
A fourth said: "Everyone who said Trent couldn’t play Right Back for England. Kyle Walker is making Slovakia’s left winger look like Ronaldinho."
Another commented: "What on God's green earth is Walker doing there."
