England players were mocked by Spain star Dani Carvajal during the first-half of the Euro 2024 final.
Just under 25 minutes into the match, Bukayo Saka tried to burst into the England half only to be tripped up from behind by the veteran Spanish defender.
A free-kick was awarded though England players protested the decision.
Phil Foden was seen waving his arms in the air, while captain Harry Kane rushed over to speak to the referee with the Three Lions appearing to feel that the Real Madrid full-back should have been booked.
No yellow was given, and Carvajal mocked the English players in response, rubbing his eyes, insinuating they were 'crying' over the decision.

There would be more frustration for Kane just moments later after he was the first man to go into the referee's book.
It was a fair decision however, after he lunged in late on Spain midfielder Fabian Ruiz after the ball had already been played.
The first-half was a scrappy and tense one, with few chances created on either side.
England's men's side are hoping to end their 58-year barren run without a trophy which stems back to the 1966 World Cup.
Spain meanwhile have won this competition twice in both 2008 and 2012.
