The England men's senior team drew 1-1 with Uruguay in an international friendly fixture at Wembley Stadium on Friday evening.

England and Uruguay played out a 1-1 draw in a friendly at Wembley on 27 March. Uruguay took the lead after 16 minutes through Darwin Nunez, who finished from close range. The visitors maintained the advantage until the second half, according to Sky Sports. England equalised in the 64th minute when Cole Palmer scored his first international goal.

Palmer started on the right wing and provided the primary attacking threat for the home side. Per The Guardian, Kobbie Mainoo and Adam Wharton started together in midfield for the first time. Manager Gareth Southgate made six substitutions during the match, including the introduction of Anthony Gordon and Ollie Watkins.

Jordan Pickford made three saves to prevent Uruguay from extending their lead early in the match. The result follows England's previous fixture against Brazil earlier in the international break. The team now prepares for the upcoming European Championship in Germany this summer, per reports from Reuters.
