England coach Gareth Southgate hit out a Harry Maguire's critics after victory in Scotland last night.

The Manchester United defender put through his own net in the 3-1 win.

Southgate later said: He said: From a Scotland fan's point of view, I get it and I have absolutely no complaints, but it is a consequence of ridiculous treatment of him for a long period of time, frankly.

"I think our fans recognised that 'OK there might be a bit of heat from our supporters, but we're not going to have others getting into him'. But it is a joke. I have never known a player to be treated the way he is - not from the Scottish fans but by our own commentators, pundits, whatever it is.

They have created something that is beyond anything I have ever seen. He has been an absolute stalwart for us in the second most successful England team in decades and he's been a key part of that.

"I've talked about the importance of our senior players and every time he goes on the field the resilience he shows, the balls he shows is absolutely incredible. He's a top player and we're all with him and our fans were incredible with him tonight."
