England boss Gareth Southgate was pleased with how Bukayo Saka handled the pressure in his first start at Euro 2020.

The Arsenal winger was a constant threat to the Czech Republic as England claimed a 1-0 victory to book top place in Group D.

Speaking to ITV Sport, Southgate said: "We hadn't finalised everything as we got the shout during training (over the players needing to isolate).

"We have been super impressed with Bukayo Saka throughout the month. He was excellent up at Middlesbrough and we have liked him with and without the ball. His receiving tonight under pressure was fantastic."
