Tyrone Mings admits his first experience of tournament football in England's clash with Croatia was a 'dream come true' - and says hard-fought win in Euro 2020 opener 'was about as perfect as it could have gone'

Tyrone Mings described his first experience of tournament football as perfect and a dream come true.

The 28-year-old Aston Villa defender gave an assured performance alongside John Stones at the heart of England’s defence in the 1-0 win over Croatia.

And as the only left-footer in the back four, he appears certain to keep his place for Friday’s game against Scotland.

Mings is a latecomer to the international stage, having made his debut at the age of 26 in the European Championship qualifier in Bulgaria that was marred by racist chanting 18 months ago.
