Another fan added: “I’ve just downloaded the BBC iPlayer app to try watch the England game on my lunch break and it is down. Shocking.”
A third fan called for their lincense fee to be refunded. “Pity I can’t watch it on iplayer as stuck on signing into my account for 45 mins,” they wrote. “License refund?”
Fans will have hoped that the situation was resolved in the second half and they were able to watch Saka get his second of the day in the second half, as his deflected strike was the fourth of the day for England. Iran grabbed a goal back before sub Marcus Rashford added more gloss to the scoreline.
