England manager Gareth Southgate, under fire after a disappointing Nations League campaign, said he is nonetheless"the right person" to take the team into this year's World Cup in Qatar.

After the 4-0 defeat by Hungary in June the crowd turned on Southgate, and there were boos again from the visiting fans as he stood to applaud them following the 1-0 defeat to Italy on Friday. "I think it's more stable that way, without a doubt. I don't think performance was far off and I know that's going to get derision just because we're on the back of a run of defeats."

"The younger players, in particular, that have been in these games will have learned a lot from them," Southgate added.
