- Manager urges team to learn lessons after late scare
- Kyle Walker and Joe Gomez criticised for errors
Gareth Southgate admitted England had “got out of jail” in the 1-0 Nations League win over Iceland and said that they had to learn from their errors, chiefly Kyle Walker’s red card and Joe Gomez’s stoppage-time penalty concession.
The manager was upset at Walker’s 70th-minute aberration in which the defender – back in the set-up for the first time in 15 months – mistimed a challenge when on a yellow card. Southgate noted how sendings‑off had previously cost England at major tournaments.
