Group 6 leaders England lost their 100 percent record as Robert Green saw red in a 1-0 defeat in Ukraine.
The goalkeeper was dismissed after just 14 minutes following a foul on Artem Milevskiy, and while Andriy Shevchenko missed the spot-kick, the Eastern Europeans were not to be denied.
Sergiy Nazarenko's first-half deflected shot decided the match, sending Ukraine above Croatia into second in the table ahead of the final fixtures on Wednesday.
