Gareth Southgate explains why he didn't bring on Phil Foden in England draw with USA

Gareth Southgate has explained his tactical decisions - including snubbing Phil Foden - in England's 0-0 bore draw with the USA.

England entered their second game at the 2022 World Cup on a high after their 6-2 win over Iran on Monday. But they were unable to break down the States and were second best for large periods of the game in Qatar.

Southgate attempted to change the game by introducing three players in the second half, introducing Jack Grealish, Jordan Henderson and Marcus Rashford to the fray. But Phil Foden was left on the bench in a decision which caused plenty of debate and was questioned by Gary Neville on ITV Sport.
