Arsenal's Zinchenko gives Ukraine lead over unbeatable England

England, who have travelled to Poland to take on Ukraine, were looking to extend their perfect record from four games of Euro 2024 qualifying. However, their plans are not working out as they had hoped.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, who currently plays for Premier League side Arsenal, opened the scoring for Ukraine in the 26th minute to give his national team the lead after a pass from Yukhym Konoplya.

Viktor Tsygankov found Konoplya with space from the right flank and Declan Rice, who shares a dressing room with Zinchenko, was unable to stop the Ukrainian defender's shot to score the opener.

If the match ends this way, the Three Lions will be unable to maintain their winning streak in the 2024 EURO qualifiers. Will Gareth Southgate's men be able to turn the tide?
