Defeat at San Siro relegates Three Lions to second tier in Nations League

England's sorry Nations League run continued on Friday as Giacomo Raspadori's 68th-minute strike gave Italy a 1-0 win that relegated the Three Lions to the second tier League B.

The defeat at the San Siro left England with no wins from five games in the competition and a worrying lack of goals with only one more match to play before they travel to Qatar for the World Cup.

'Magical' De Bruyne leads Belgium to Nations League win over Wales - in pictures

England have not scored a goal in open play in this season's Nations League and manager Gareth Southgate was booed by a large section of the away crowd.

"It's really difficult to pinpoint why we're not scoring, because I think we're getting into the right areas," Southgate said after the match.

"We had the moments that we had in the past we just didn't deliver the final piece of quality tonight.

"I understand the reaction at the end because that's the results we've had in this competition and yeah it's an understandable emotional reaction."

Italy still have a chance of topping the group and making the playoffs but they will need to beat Hungary in Budapest on Monday after the surprise leaders won 1-0 in Germany.

"We put in a good performance against a strong team, we were attack-minded, created chances and controlled the match while bringing home the win. We needed this kind of victory against a top opponent," said Raspadori.

"We want to return to being the team we were before and put Italy back where we belong."

Key figures in the life of the fort

Sheikh Dhiyab bin Isa (ruled 1761-1793) Built Qasr Al Hosn as a watchtower to guard over the only freshwater well on Abu Dhabi island.

Sheikh Shakhbut bin Dhiyab (ruled 1793-1816) Expanded the tower into a small fort and transferred his ruling place of residence from Liwa Oasis to the fort on the island.

Sheikh Tahnoon bin Shakhbut (ruled 1818-1833) Expanded Qasr Al Hosn further as Abu Dhabi grew from a small village of palm huts to a town of more than 5,000 inhabitants.

Sheikh Khalifa bin Shakhbut (ruled 1833-1845) Repaired and fortified the fort.

Sheikh Saeed bin Tahnoon (ruled 1845-1855) Turned Qasr Al Hosn into a strong two-storied structure.

Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa (ruled 1855-1909) Expanded Qasr Al Hosn further to reflect the emirate's increasing prominence.

Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan (ruled 1928-1966) Renovated and enlarged Qasr Al Hosn, adding a decorative arch and two new villas.

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan (ruled 1966-2004) Moved the royal residence to Al Manhal palace and kept his diwan at Qasr Al Hosn.
