LONDON (Reuters) - England manager Gareth Southgate said John Stones did well to bounce back from his howler against Poland on Wednesday that almost cost them their perfect record in World Cup qualifying.

Stones has been a rock at the heart of Manchester City's defence this season, but a woeful error in the second half at Wembley handed Poland what could have proved a crucial equaliser.

In the end, it proved inconsequential as Harry Maguire fired home a late winner to secure a 2-1 win, England's third straight victory in Group I, with Stones heading down for his team mate to score on the turn. "A critical intervention to set up Harry for a brilliant volley. I was pleased to see his reaction and it was important the whole team showed that response."
