Of course it wasn't lucky against Wales. It wasn't a fluke of a goal, and it was scored during the game, a game England dominated.
They dominated against Russia too, and should have scored more to prevent the late equaliser, which was a bit of a lucky header, and one that never looked like coming all game.
