Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish won praise from Gareth Southgate after Thursday's 3-0 win over Wales.

The 25-year-old collected the man of the match award as he took creative control in the absence of Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho.

And Southgate says Grealish provides something completely different for his England side.

He said: "His work with the ball was very good. We know he draws those fouls, he's comfortable receiving it in tight areas. It was a debut he can be really pleased with.

"He is a different type of player to probably any of we have. Sancho and Raheem have the ability to dribble and beat people but he does it in a different way. He's very comfortable receiving it under pressure."
