Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips was proud of his performance in England's victory over Croatia.

Phillips was outstanding for the 1-0 Euros win.

Facing the TV cameras after the game with a beaming smile, the 25-year-old told BBC Sport: "It's a great feeling to get an assist and a great feeling for the three points.

"I'm laid back - that's the kind of person I am regardless of what is thrown at me. I just try and take it in my stride."

Three Lions boss Southgate said: "Kalvin Phillips is a player who is so understated. He has had a fantastic start to his international career. I thought he was immense throughout the game - as they all were.

"Working with Marcelo Bielsa and having the season he has gave him confidence, but all the attributes were there. High performance, low maintenance - we like that a lot."
