Gareth Southgate refuses to single out Nick Pope error after England Germany draw

England manager Gareth Southgate has refused to single out Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope's blunder for Germany's equaliser as the reason the Three Lions drew their UEFA Nations League match last night at Wembley.

England found themselves 1-0 down just seven minutes after half-time when Harry Maguire gave the ball away to German midfielder Jamal Musiala and then immediately fouled him to give away a penalty which was dispatched by Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.

Chelsea's Kai Havertz then found a curling effort past Pope but the Three Lions came back with two goals in three minutes - Luke Shaw pulling one back from close range before a Mason Mount first-time effort bought the score level.
