Ukraine move into second place after Mudryk seals 3-1 winHungary held in Lithuania; Slovenia win in Northern Ireland
Ukraine moved above Italy into second spot in Group C after coming from behind to win in Malta. Paul Mbong gave the underdogs Malta a shock lead with only their second goal of the European Championship qualifying campaign. But an own goal from Ryan Camenzuli hauled Ukraine level before Artem Dovbyk’s penalty and a late strike from Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk secured a 3-1 victory.
This result combined with another 3-1 win, for England against Italy at Wembley, meant Ukraine were able to open up a three-point gap over their rivals for second place. However Italy have played a game less than Ukraine and will face North Macedonia at home, before a decisive Ukraine v Italy match in Leverkusen next month.
