Manager Gareth Southgate said his England side are "not where we need to be" after Friday's 2-0 win over Malta - but refused to criticise the players because of the gruelling schedule.
England beat Malta 2-0 in the Euro 2024 qualifiers with an own goal from Pepe and another from Harry Kane. Despite the win, manager Gareth Southgate was not happy with the performance of his players.
"We didn't start the game well. I've been in football for 35 years. And if you don't start games well, it's really difficult to pick it up. We needed to show better quality with the ball, but also we were a bit stretched without it. We know the level we've got should be better," said the English manager.
"There are positives, but we know we were not where we want to be." Take a look at what he said and how England manager Gareth Southgate reacted at the post-match press conference.
