Friday night, James Maddison had issues working out how to use his water bottle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Three Lions took on the Socceroos under the un-lit Wembley arches in a game that has been preceded by much talk over what gesture the sides will make to mark the current situation in Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While there had been calls for the Israeli flag colours &#8211; blue and white &#8211; to be cast on the famous arches in north west London, it was decided that players would wear black armbands and observe a moment&#8217;s silence instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gareth Southgate\u00a0named 10 changes from the XI that took on Scotland at Hampden Park last month, with only Lewis Dunk keeping his place, as Maddison returned to the fold.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Tottenham forward was unable to carve out much of an opportunity for either himself or his team-mates in a drab opening 45 minutes, but was caught out struggling with his water bottle ahead of kick-off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img

to help his team-mate out\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old looked to grab a quick drink on the sidelines on a very wet night in the capital, but was caught out by the sports bottle&#8217;s design.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rather than a regular spout straight out the top of the bottle, the jet was directed at a right-angle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Maddison looked to bring it to his mouth, he squeezed the bottle only for the water to fly out the other side.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He tried this not once, but three times, before substitute Harry Maguire gave him some advice on how best to hydrate himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The hosts failed to entertain in the early stages of the game, with Australia frustrating Southgate&#8217;s side.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Without regular goal machine Harry Kane leading the line, Ollie Watkins found life difficult in breaking down the visitors&#8217; largely resolute defence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Leicester star Harry Souttar put in a number of good tackles, with a well-timed challenge in the dying seconds of the first half denying the hosts a goal scoring opportunity to cap a poor 45 minutes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
