Harry Maguire suffered brutal treatment from Scotland fans after coming on as a substitute for England – shortly before he put the ball in his own net.
The Three Lions enjoyed a stellar first-half at Hampden Park. Gareth Southgate's side went 2-0 up thanks to goals from Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham, though they were not without some fortune.
Southgate then irked a section of fans on social media by bringing on recently-struggling centre-back Maguire on for Marc Guehi at the break.
And it didn't take long for the 30-year-old to justify their concerns by scoring an own goal just 22 minutes after coming on.

Scotland broke away from a failed England attack as John McGinn played the ball across the box from wide. But as Maguire aimed to intercept the pass, the ball fizzed off his out-stretched leg and beat Aaron Ramsdale at his near-post.
Maguire had been on the receiving end of some taunting from rival fans immediately after coming on. The home support sought to unsettle him by making noises that implied he was about to make a mistake.
Do you think Harry Maguire should be dropped for England? Let us know in the comments section.
Fans online had voiced their frustration at Southgate for giving the defender another chance, having been slammed for "hugging his team-mate" in England's 1-1 draw to Ukraine last week. They took to social media as the change was revealed at half-time.
One Twitter user fumed: "Maguire on? Maybe Gareth is a Scotland fan after all." Another tweeted: "45mins without Maguire starting & Southgate starts twitching and has to bring him on."

A third raged: "Just when we thought Southgate had woken up, he goes and brings Maguire on."
Fortunately for England, it didn't prove too costly in the end, as Harry Kane latched on to a lovely threaded pass from Bellingham less than 10 minutes from time before slotting it past Angus Gunn in goal with his left foot.
The game ultimately finished 3-1, with England getting the better of their bitter rivals at Hampden Park. It was one to forget for Maguire, but not the rest of the team.
