During the game, the cameras zoomed in as he peeled it off without hesitation. It stayed lying on the turf without a second thought. Spence kept playing as if nothing happened. Manager Gareth Southgate made calls of his own. Kane and Bellingham watched from the bench the whole time. They never got the nod to enter. The choices led to heavy debates after the final whistle.
