The defeat sparked concern about England's preparedness ahead of the summer continental showpiece in Germany.

Having already named his final squad for the tournament, fans were curious to have a first glimpse of what Gareth Southgate's men could offer.

However, the team was unable to make a good account of themselves, with Thorsteinsson's goal the only difference.
