Damian Szymanski nodded a dramatic first Poland goal to end England s winning start to World Cup qualifying in a 1-1 draw, although the Three Lions remain firmly in pole position.
Gareth Southgate s side still hold top spot in Group I, yet they were moving eight points clear of Poland courtesy of Harry Kane s second-half blast until Szymanski s intervention.
The substitute headed past Jordan Pickford in the 92nd minute to secure a precious point in Warsaw.
It was a result England might have taken beforehand, but the late leveller will send the Euro 2020 finalists home frustrated after five straight victories.

Arsenal moved above Tottenham into third in the Premier League table with a 2-0 defeat of Newcastle United on Monday.
Aaron Ramsey, bound for Juventus after this season, struck his fourth league goal of 2018-19 before Alexandre Lacazette settled a somewhat scrappy encounter at Emirates Stadium.
