In the Round of 16 of the European Championship, Scranton scored the first goal in the 25th minute, leaving England trailing Slovakia 0-1 at halftime. As the whistle blew for the end of the first half, Alan Shearer unleashed a scathing critique of the Three Lions.
Shearer took to Twitter, writing: “77% possession in the first half and no shots on target! Get forward a bit, this is dreadful. Get Gordon and Palmer on.”
This marked the first time since the 1986 World Cup against Argentina that England failed to register a single shot on target in the first half of a major tournament match.
