England manager Gareth Southgate insists Bukayo Saka doesn't need closure after the Euro 2020 final defeat.

Arsenal youngster Saka missed the decisive spot-kick in England's penalty shootout loss to Italy in July.

Saka celebrated his 20th birthday with a goal in England's 4-0 win over Andorra on Sunday.

"It was a lovely moment for him to score," said England boss Southgate.

"He got a fabulous reception before and during the game. You can see how popular he is with the team."

Asked if Saka's goal would bring closure to the player, Southgate added: "From my perspective he doesn't need closure.

"The talent that he has, he is a hugely exciting player. No need from our side for closure."
