Southgate accepts responsibility for England humiliation as lovers activate him

Gareth Southgate took complete obligation for England's four-0 humiliation by means of Hungary in the Nations League on Tuesday.

The Three Lions were embarrassed by means of their traffic at Molineux, paying the price for an abysmal overall performance that became in line with – but altogether worse than – their different disappointing shows this month, which have left England backside of Group A3 with simply two points.

It turned into England's worst home defeat in 94 years and stretched their winless streak to 4, their longest such run seeing that June 2014.

Roland Sallai positioned Hungary in the front early on, but it turned into no longer until the latter degrees that England's humiliation genuinely took form.

Sallai got some other within the seventieth minute, and that changed into observed up with the aid of Zsolt Nagy's fierce attempt and a sensitive Daniel Gazdag chip either side of a arguable 2nd yellow card for John Stones.

Defeat of their subsequent sport in opposition to Italy in September will ensure England are relegated from the pinnacle tier of the Nations League, and Southgate fronted as much as his mistakes.

 

"We picked a young crew with electricity, and while the game started out to head against them it began to appearance that way [that it was a young team], and that's my obligation ultimately," Southgate told 'Channel four'.

"I felt at half-time we had to cross for the game, we made adjustments that gave us a chunk more attacking impetus but then we have been extra open as well, and in the long run you are pushing with so many attacking players, that left us wide open.

"I simply said to the players there, throughout the four matches that is my responsibility. I tried to balance looking at new players, tried to rest gamers, we could not keep flogging our greater experienced and better gamers, and ultimately the groups I've decided on haven't been strong sufficient to get the effects inside the Hungary games actually.
