Fans of England were left perplexed after what appeared to be Harry Maguire marking his own center-back partner.
The Three Lions took the lead against Ukrɑine in the first half thanks to a goal from Oleksandr Zinchenko, but Kyle Walker’s late first-half strike allowed England to escape with a 1-1 draw.

Fans were divided on Maguire’s blame on the goal
But fans claimed to see Maguire go to defend against centre-back partner Marc Guehi before the ball was played past him for Zinchenko to slot home the opener.
Fans rushed to Twitter to comment on the Manchester United star’s defending.
One user remarked: “What the hell is Harry Maguire doing 💀.”
A second wrote: “New season old Harry Maguire.”
“I just can’t with Southgate anymore,” typed a third.
However, many fans jumped to the defence of the 30-year-old, pointing out that Maguire had tracked his marker before the goal.
One fan replied: “How is that his fault?”
A second asked: “There is so much wrong with this… Kyle Walker can defend, can he? … well he didn’t here, Maguire? But that massive gap in the middle, who’s covering that?”
Another commented: “Is he the only player on the pitch? You people will scapegoat him at the club, and now scapegoat him on NT duties too.”
Maguire has remained on the Man Utd bench this season despite criticism surrounding his selection in the most recent England squad.
