England boss Gareth Southgate says he needs more “evidence” to be convinced that Phil Foden’s best position is in the number 10 role, despite the 22-year-old himself naming it as his favourite role.
The Manchester City star netted his first World Cup goal on 51 minutes in the 3-0 win over Wales - just 60 seconds after Marcus Rashford had netted the opening free-kick, the fellow Manchester-born star going on to grab the third 17 minutes later.
Foden was handed his first start of the finals after his absence in the goalless clash with the USA raised eyebrows. The youngster started on the right wing before swapping flanks with Rashford in the second half.
