Italy coach Roberto Mancini hailed his players for their Nations League win against England.

The Azzurri won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Napoli attacker Giacomo Raspadori.

“It is very important, as it gives us a sense of calm to be top seeds for the draw, we also have the chance to top the group and beat England, one of the best teams in the world," Mancini told RAI Sport.

“As I said yesterday, the system is one thing, but what matters is the character of a squad, the desire to attack and take control. We still have a lack of experience in the side and some very young lads, but we played well today.

“A group with Germany and England, where we used so many young kids and had so many difficulties over the last few months, going into the final game with a chance to win it is important."
