Alan Shearer felt England had shown Spain “too much respect” as Mikel Oyarzabal’s late winner secured a Euro 2024 triumph in Berlin.

Cole Palmer came off the bench to cancel out Nico Williams’ second-half opener, but Oyarzabal struck in the 86th minute and England could not find an equaliser despite late chances for Declan Rice and Marc Guehi.
