How frequently does the letter "n" appear in:
For Gareth Southgate and his side, it’s just getting better and better . . . and the manager and coaching team deserve enormous credit.
He’s carried on the good work from the World Cup in the summer and this was another brilliant performance and match.
It shows the great job Gareth is doing, everyone is in love with England again.
After the World Cup, despite the semi-final defeat to Croatia, it would have been easy to sit back and admire the undoubted good work that was done.
But Gareth is not settling for that. He wants more and after brilliant games like yesterday’s at Wembley, so do we!
Prior to the World Cup, then during the tournament in Russia, Gareth was the first manager in a long time to overachieve with England.
Every manager for 20 years before him has under-achieved given the calibre of player at his disposal . . . not Gareth.
It’s a team that’s unrecognisable from 13 months ago.
Then you also need a manager with the courage of his convictions and a real belief in the team.
We started the game against Croatia very well, but I was beginning to think we would regret missing those chances.
But there is now an energy and fitness about this England side for them to keep on going.
You need an extra 10-15 per cent in games like that and sometimes that added fitness and belief comes from the manager and the fans.
The stadium is buzzing, the boss makes the changes and keeps urging you forward. And, as players, you can’t help but be inspired by it.
Gareth also made brilliant substitutions. At 1-0 down he put on Dele Alli, then Jadon Sancho and goalscorer Lingard.
He put them on to go and win, he told them they could do it.
Dele and Lingard made a massive difference, positively effecting the game. And then just when you needed Harry Kane, he was there.
He has missed chances and been on a run of not scoring in an England shirt. But he does what good goalscorers do — keeps getting in those positions, keeps believing that the goals will come.
That’s the sign of a very good centre-forward.
Joe Gomez was fantastic at the back, so dominant and composed for one so young.
And all over the pitch England deserved this win.
When Nikola Vlasic missed the chance after 77 minutes when they were leading 1-0, that spurred England on again and moments later we had the ball in the net.
Again — character and belief.
