Gareth Southgate told Hungary loss could be good news despite England "attitude" fears

Gareth Southgate has been told England's 4-0 hammering to Hungary isn't all bad news despite the attitude of his players being called into question.

The Three Lions suffered their heaviest home defeat since March 1928 on Tuesday night as their Nations League nightmare continued. Southgate's side now sit bottom of the group having claimed just two points and managed one solitary goal in their four fixtures so far.

The floundering form is a far cry from that of 12 months ago when England were a penalty shootout away from clinching their first major honour since 1966 at Euro 2020. However, according to Jermaine Jenas, the humiliating defeat to Hungary could be good news, as he believes it's the "reality check" Southgate's side needed.
