The Three Lions looked poised for a vital three points after a sublime Eric Dier free-kick, only for Russia to find a 92nd minute winner through Vasili Berezutski.
England created the better chances on the night but failed to translate their ascendancy into a two-goal lead and ultimately paid the price.
After Wales’ 2-1 victory against Slovakia the pressure is on England to put in a strong performance and win their next match against Wales.
While for Russia they will be buoyed by their last-gasp equaliser before their clash with Slovakia.
Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter:
Please remember all football journalists and pundits it is illegal to point out that Harry Kane is shit. #EngvRus ?

Clueless Formation, Terrible Squad Selection, baffling substitutions. Why do I even get my hopes up? Typical England. #EngvRus #EURO2016

I see the blame game is in full swing. Simple. Poor substitutions, missed chances and one massive defensive breakdown. #EngvRus #EURO2016

England must be sick, I did say the smash and grab was on, Russia always had a goal in them. Touch of houghton 88 about the header #EngvRus

Promising performance from #England though. Would drop Sterling for the Wales match and be braver in bringing on Vardy #EngvRus

Gutted! Very good performance but we have to take chances when on top in matches as the euros go on! #ENGvRUS

Roy needed to sub Kane for Vardy or Sturridge. Invited pressure at the end. Playing Sterling is a mistake. #Hodgeball #EngvRus #EURO2016

Rooney looked shot, Vardy should have come on. The defence was at fault for the goal, stop blaming Hodgson. #EURO2016 #ENGRUS #EngvRus

“Game Management” – everything that goes wrong, in any game, is down to Game Management; a beautifully all-encompassing nonsense #EngvRus

One mistake undid the best performance by England since 2004. Attacking potential, defensive problems. #ENGvRUS #Euro2016

Sterling should be nowhere near the starting line up. Everyone knows that expect the bloke paid shit loads to manage the team. #engvrus

Looks like England have been blown out of all proportion by their media again into thinking they’ll win the Euros. #badresult #EngvRus

England always cause disappointment for others! Russia played for the defeat and we couldn’t even oblige #EngvRus
— Tom Compton (@Tom_Compton) June 11, 2016
Encouraging performance, strange substitutions, team deserved better, coach got what he deserved for playing for 1-0. #EngvRus

Drew v worst team in group. Hodgson must go. Kane was shocking but stayed on for 90 mins. How? We will not make knockout round. #EngvRus

Absolute joke that anyone is blaming Wilshere for the draw. Did his job from the corner and everything well enough when he came on #EngvRus
