Half-Time Report: Alexis Sanchez gives Chile the lead at Wembley

Chile take a 1-0 lead into half time against England thanks to Alexis Sanchez's headed goal.

Chile are beating England at Wembley tonight in their international friendly match.

It was almost 1-0 to England only three minutes in. Adam Lallana put a cross into the box and Phil Jones got his head to the ball, directing a header at goal. However, Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo palmed it away.

Moments later the Three Lions had an even better chance. James Milner drilled in a ball from the right and saw it take a deflection off a defender and head towards goal. Bravo, however, again made the stop.

England's positive start was then wiped out two minutes later. Jean Beausejour worked the ball to Eugenio Mena, who lofted the ball in. Alexis Sanchez was able to reach up highest and nod the ball past Fraser Forster.

England's response was swift, as Wayne Rooney found Lallana and the Southampton man fired in a low shot, but again Bravo was there to save.

Chile looked dangerous on the counter and Beausejour forced Forster into a decent save.

Bravo was called into action again, this time tipping Frank Lampard's dipping shot over the bar and then keeping out Jack Wilshere, who caught a half-volley from 25 yards.

However, Chile then had two chances to double their lead. First, Gary Medel lost his marker but missed with a header, before Beausejour fluffed his chance to test Forster after the away side had outdone England with their passing.

Jones almost found the bottom corner when he stuck out a leg, and Lallana could have levelled the scores, but he drilled his effort wide.
