“I was in a no.10 role so it gave me more freedom to roam, find spaces, try to link the midfield to the attacking boys. I found myself in some space to shoot a couple of times but I didn’t do well enough with my shots. It was too easy for the keeper.

Meanwhile, Gareth Southgate admits there is more room for improvement after England’s 1-1 draw with Italy.
The England head coach said: “There were things we did well in Germany and things that we needed to improve upon. We improved upon a lot of those things today.
“Getting the ball through their midfield press and into the next line we were much better at and we have had two or three really good chances that we need to score and we just lack that little bit of sharpness in the final third.
“But the general performance I was pleased with and I felt there were a lot of positive individual performances, players that we needed to see who has gone in and done well.
“So at the moment that little bit of sharpness isn’t there, but I was pleased with the general performance.”
England’s next game is against Hungary on Tuesday.
