England's 'wonderful bravery' leaves Southgate excited for the future

Gareth Southgate thinks the "wonderful bravery" displayed by England against Spain on Monday will help his young players to kick on in their development.

Two goals from Raheem Sterling and a Marcus Rashford strike put England 3-0 up at half-time, marking the first time 2010 world champions Spain have ever conceded three times at home outside of friendly games.
