Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips says he felt England could win the Euros after game one.

Phillips believed it after the opening win against Croatia, in which he played a man-of-the-match role.

Asked when a switch was flicked, Phillips responded: “For me, personally, it was the first game. It was a massive game – with the recent history between us and Croatia in recent tournaments, it was a big thing.

“I just think after that game we felt we could beat anybody in the group and then, after the group stages, we had Germany.

“Once we finished that game against Germany, we knew they were going to be one of the best teams we could face. The first game was a major point and then ­Germany as well."
