FULL-TIME
England 1-2 Iceland
WOW!
What a flabbergasting result! The England bodies are dumped on the ground, Gary Cahill is in tears.
The Iceland players run to their fans to celebrate. What a momentous win for Iceland, what a huge result in Euroepan football!
Seismic. Fair play to the men in blue. They defended heroically.
This will go down among one of the worst results in the history of the England football team.
Surely Roy Hodgson will emulate David Cameron.
Report
England suffered their worst humiliation since they were knocked out of the 1950 World Cup by USA in Brazil as Iceland shocked them in the last 16 of Euro 2016.
Manager Roy Hodgson resigned after the abject embarrassment of losing to a nation ranked 34th in the world - and with a population of just 330,000 - despite taking the lead through Wayne Rooney's fourth-minute penalty.
Iceland equalised within a minute as England failed to deal with a trademark long throw and Ragnar Sigurdsson bundled home from close range.
England's shameful performance was summed up by Iceland's 18th-minute winner when goalkeeper Joe Hart was badly at fault - just as in the win over Wales - as he let Kolbeinn Sigthorsson's shot through his hand.
Hodgson made changes as Iceland dug in, but the underdogs had as many chances as England before the final whistle blew on their Euro 2016 hopes and his four-year tenure as manager.
