England suffer shock Euro 2024 warm-up defeat to Iceland
England beaten by Iceland in final warm-up game before Euro 2024
Thorsteinsson gave visitors shock win at Wembley with early goal
England's preparations for Euro 2024 suffered a setback on Friday as they were beaten 1-0 by Iceland in their final warm-up game at Wembley.
The Three Lions, who begin their Euro 2024 campaign against Croatia on Sunday, were caught cold by an early goal from Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson.
Gareth Southgate's side huffed and puffed for an equaliser but were unable to find a way past Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson.
The defeat is a concern for Southgate, who will be hoping his team can bounce back when they face Croatia in their Euro 2024 opener.
England will be looking to put this defeat behind them and focus on their Euro 2024 campaign. They will be confident of making a good start to the tournament, but they will need to improve their performance if they are to challenge for the title.
