Gareth Southgate has been questioned by former England international Jamie Redknapp following his decision to substitute Bukayo Saka against France. The Arsenal star was replaced by Raheem Sterling in the 79th minute after terrorising left-back Theo Hernandez throughout England's World Cup quarter-final against France.
Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni gave France the lead before Harry Kane equalised from the penalty spot, after Saka had been fouled by Tchouameni. Moments after missing a glorious chance which was saved by Jordan Pickford, Olivier Giroud headed France back in front with 12 minutes to go.
The England captain had the chance to go beyond Wayne Rooney as England's all-time top scorer, but blazed over a second penalty after second half substitute Mason Mount was bundled over by Hernandez. The world champions ultimately saw out the win thus setting up a semi-final clash with Morocoo.
