From the qualifying campaign, this Swedish side has been built on a solid defence and has been a side that has struggled for goals - as exemplified by Marcus Berg having 17 shots on target at this tournament without scoring.
But on this occasion, their biggest friend let them down. They were dealt a blow even before the game, with the suspension of Mikael Lustig, but they would have expected to defend much better than they did.
They would have obviously come into the game, knowing that England's biggest strength was their prowess from set-pieces, and yet they allowed themselves to be bullied in the box. It didn't help Sweden that they set up zonally on set-pieces, allowing room for England's big boys to make runs on to the ball.
Lustig's replacement Emil Krafth didn't cover himself in too much glory either. His defending for the second goal was questionable, to put it mildly. Alli shouldn't have had that easy a run on Lingard's cross for the goal.
