Gary Lineker was quickly proved right after declaring that Gareth Southgate must take risks if England are to overcome a team of Germany's quality.
The Three Lions came from behind to earn a draw in the Nations League at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena on Tuesday night. Harry Kane scored his 50th goal for his country from the penalty spot - awarded following Nico Schlotterbeck's clumsy challenge - with seconds remaining after Jonas Hofmann opened the scoring for the hosts early in the second half.
England were leggy throughout the Group A3 clash with their old rivals and it took the introduction of Manchester City playmaker Jack Grealish and West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen to inject some late energy into their performance. During England's run to the final of Euro 2020 last summer, Southgate often used Grealish as an impact substitute to good effect.
