WEMBLEY RUN IS BROUGHT TO AN END

minutes to go there were lots of changes and I think at the point the crowd were really pleased with the performance.

“Of course when you lose the game it turns negative but we have to keep the context with that.

“We don’t know yet on Kyle Walker’s injury.

“He is feeling something but he is not a player that is injured very often so he is not quite certain what it is so we will have to assess it over the next couple of days.”

On the performance on his debutants ahead of Tuesday’s clash with the Red Devils, Southgate added: “I thought for Ezri Konsa to come on at that moment and deal with Vinicius was excellent, a really mature performance.

“I thought Gordon had been in an England shirt for a long time. He looked settled with it, a couple of attempts on goal – he took his club form into an England shirt.

“Kobbie Mainoo, it was nice to get him on the pitch and he showed moments of composure and that is evidence what he has been doing with the club.”

And on getting the best out of Phil Foden, who has been in red-hot form for Manchester City this season, the England boss said: “I think at moments we saw that.

“But again he is playing against a high-level side and we are not dominating 75 per cent of the ball which at times is the case with his club.”

Gordon, who was England’s star turn on the night, said: “This was the best day of my life.

“I envisioned it a bit different with a win and a goal. I thought we were the better team but we lacked that cutting edge that they had at the end. This is my dream. To achieve it means everything to me.”
