    ENGLAND fans were fuming after Dani Olmo avoided red for clattering Declan Rice.

    The Spain midfielder completely missed the ball and sent his studs into Rice ‘s hip early in the Three Lions’ 2-1 defeat.

    It was a very poor challenge but referee Francois Letexier decided it was only worth a yellow card despite one fan branding it a “GBH attack.”

    Rice pleaded his case by lifting up his shirt to show the damage but to no avail.

    One fan posted: “Shouldn’t that be a red card?!?! That’s clearly on top of Rice thigh?!?!”

    “That is kinda career ending though literal stamp on Rice,” replied another.

    A third added: “This Dani Olmo tackle on Rice is a clear red card tackle. Poor officiating.”

    England and Spain played out a nervous first half with just one shot on target apiece.

    Aside from the Olmo foul, the main incident of note was Dani Carvajal trolling Bukayo Saka .

    The Spanish defender gestured that the winger was “whinging” after fouling him .

    Letexier judged the challenge by the Real Madrid man on Saka to be a foul as he stopped a counter-attack.

    Carvajal did not take the reaction well as he gestured by rolling his hands by his eyes at Saka .

    The moment was caught on cameras, and fans were less than impressed with the defender.

    But the game kicked into life after the break as Nico Williams put Spain ahead just after the restart.

    Harry Kane was hauled off for Ollie Watkins after 61 minutes and the change paid dividends as Cole Palmer made it 1-1 soon later.

    But Mikel Oyarzabal scored four minutes from time to spark jubilant scenes for Spain.
