Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge rose from the bench to score as England came from behind to defeat Wales 2-1 in yesterday's all-British Euro 2016 clash in Lens. Just as he had in Wales's opening 2-1 win over Slovakia, Gareth Bale put Wales ahead with a long-range free-kick, which England goalkeeper Joe Hart could only fumble into the net.But Vardy and Sturridge came on at half time and after the former had equalised in the 56th minute, the latter smuggled in a stoppage-time winner that fired England to the top of the group.Wales are a point back in second place, above Slovakia on head-to-head record, and need to beat Russia on Monday to guarantee one of the two automatic qualifying berths."Obviously it is massively disappointing, but I am very proud of everybody," said Bale. "We keep fighting all the way."A draw against Slovakia in Saint-Etienne will suffice for England and they will approach the game with renewed optimism after belatedly kicking their tournament into gear.A thumping header from defender Gareth McAuley and a stoppage-time strike by substitute Niall McGinn earned Northern Ireland a 2-0 victory over Ukraine in their Group C encounter.McAuley outjumped full back Yevhen Khacheridi to meet Oliver Norwood's free-kick early in the second half, and light up a dour physical struggle under leaden skies.McGinn added the second in the dying moments of the game after Ukrainian keeper Andriy Pyatov could only parry a shot from Stuart Dallas.The result leaves Ukraine without a point but means Northern Ireland now have three, and a chance of reaching the last 16, as they brace themselves for a daunting final group match against Germany.Yaroslav Rakitskiy had a long range effort comfortably saved by keeper Michael McGovern, and Konoplyanka hit a free-kick over the bar from over 30m.Ukraine dominated possession throughout the half, but left themselves open as they strained for an equaliser, and McGinn was there at the death to seal the victory.Germany and Poland edged closer to the knockout stage after playing to a 0-0 draw, the first of the tournament, at the Stade de France.The result means both teams have four points in Group C ahead of Northern Ireland, who have three after their 2-0 win over a Ukraine side who cannot qualify for the last 16 at the finals.Poland had their best opportunities through Arkadiusz Milik and Robert Lewandowski but failed to score partly due to superb defending by Jerome Boateng.Germany's best chance came in the 69th minute when Mesut Ozil's shot on the turn was tipped over by Lukasz Fabianski. ..
