Jack Grealish has taken an important "psychological" step by scoring his first goal for England, says boss Gareth Southgate.

Grealish came off the bench to get the fifth goal in a 5-0 World Cup qualifying win over Andorra from keeper Sam Johnstone's assist.

The Manchester City midfielder was making his 16th appearance for England.

"The longer the number of caps stack up and the goals column stays blank, it can become a thing," said Southgate.

England were already leading 4-0 through goals by Ben Chilwell, Bukayo Saka, Tammy Abraham and James Ward-Prowse when Grealish struck after 86 minutes.

He latched on to a long throw by Johnstone before creating space for himself and scoring to complete a positive night for Southgate's side.
