THE REDEEMER: Russian skipper Vasili Berezutski rises majestically to head in the equaliser in stoppage time against England on Saturday. The end of the Group B match, which finished 1-1, was marred by violence in the stands as supporters clashed after the final whistle and, despite a superb performance, England was left ruing the missed opportunities. The lads are disappointed not to get the win but we can take a lot of positives,” England captain Wayne Rooney said. A youthful England side produced a performance full of verve and skill but was punished for failing to convert its dominance into goals as Russia grabbed a late equaliser in their Euro 2016 opener in Marseille on Saturday. With England attacking seemingly at will, centrally and down the flanks, it seemed a matter of time before the deadlock was broken.
