England manager, Gareth Southgate has praised the team for their doggedness stating that the win against the hardworking Tunisians showed character and determination. England had their early lead in the game leveled just before halftime and the team struggled to breakdown the Tunisian defense after the break, however, a late header by Harry Kane secure all three points for the Three Lions.
“The guys that came on had a different threat. As a team you keep working and working. The best teams in the world keep the belief in what they’re doing and in the end break teams down. Harry Maguire’s potential is huge. Both he and Jordan Pickford have not played in cup finals and big stage Champions League matches – but he has great composure and has a calm temperament. He has outstanding potential and hope tonight has given him a lot of belief,” Southgate said.
