'We've used 14 players yet our best player is still on the bench': Michael Owen leads outrage on social media after Phil Foden doesn't even come off the bench in England's goalless draw with the United States

Michael Owen has led criticism into why Phil Foden was not brought on in England's goalless draw with the United States.

Foden was not included in the starting line-up for the second match in a row.

However, with the Three Lions unable to find the back of the net in a lacklustre performance, Gareth Southgate opted to bring on Jordan Henderson, Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford - while the Man City star was left on the bench.
