Tyrone Mings was delighted to make his England debut despite being subjected to racist abuse.

The Aston Villa stopper started alongside Harry Maguire at centre-back in the 6-0 win over Bulgaria.

Mings was the victim of racist taunts from the home crowd, but he was happy the Three Lions finished the match.

Speaking after the game, he said: "It was a great occasion; I made my England debut. Slightly overshadowed by a few disappointing chants, which could be clearly heard on the pitch, but we showed a great response and ultimately we let the football do the talking.

"I think the protocol was effective, and there was less chanting after that. We made a decision at half-time to come out and play the game, which we thought was the right thing to do."
