The performer fumbled her words and appeared to sing the first line twice, leading the home crowd to boo loudly throughout the performance.
Ellynora was also seen putting her finger to her earpiece at the start of the anthem.
And the pop singer has revealed a sound issue at the stadium was to blame for her performance.
She broke down in tears in an interview with the Daily Mail, saying: “I’m just so angry with what happened because I wanted it to be perfect but what happened wasn’t my fault.
“I’m more of a pop artist but at the ground there was a sound issue.
“I had rehearsed the anthem twice the day before the match and then on the night three times but when it came to the actual performance, I had a problem with my earpiece.
“I had the music in my ear and then it stopped and started again, and I was hearing it twice, so it meant I was out of sync, and it was hard for me to catch up.
“I really tried my best to solve the problem but there was nothing I could do and I’m so angry about it.

“I was trying to adjust my singing to catch up with the anthem in the stadium, but it was too late.”
However immediately after her rendition Ellynora shared a cheeky post which seemed to indicate there was nothing wrong.
She wrote: “Hope you enjoyed my gift England.”
Yet her performance was so bad it drew a bewildered look from England pair Kyle Walker and Jude Bellingham, while Bukayo Saka looked concerned as he glanced in Ellynora’s direction.
