Harry Kane believes boss Gareth Southgate is still the man to take England forward despite a 4-0 home defeat to Hungary. Roland Sallai’s brace was complemented by a thunderous Zsolt Nagy strike and – shortly after John Stones’ red card – Daniel Gazdag made it 4-0 on a night when fans booed the team and chanted “you don’t know what you’re doing” at Southgate.
The second consecutive defeat to the Hungarians left England without a victory in four Nations League matches. Southgate has credit in the bank after taking England to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals and the Euro 2020 final.
But his position has been questioned and, on whether Southgate was the right man, captain Kane told Channel 4: “Without any question.
That’s not a question I should even be answering if I’m honest.” The heavy loss at Molineux left England bottom of their Nations League group, having only scored one goal in four games.
