England suffered a 0-1 defeat at Wembley tonight, a mere nine days prior to the commencement of their European Championships campaign.
England have once again deceived their opponents, this time by taking an hour to demolish Bosnia and Herzegovina before ultimately winning 3-0.

Although he possesses the qualities to excel in either position, Southgate evidently regards him as a midfielder.
However, he provided England with the much-needed impetus at right-back on Friday night. It is clear that he must start for England, particularly in matches against nations such as Iceland, who will be content to sit in.
