Southgate: We lost to a fairytale goal but England should've won

The Three Lions boss was pleased with what he saw from his team in Dortmund on Wednesday, despite the result

Manager Gareth Southgate believes England should have beaten Germany as he heaped praise on his team following their 1-0 loss to the world champions.

It took a second-half stunner from Lukas Podolski in his final international appearance for Germany to settle Wednesday's friendly fixture in Dortmund.

England, however, performed better and were unfortunate not to spoil the party at Signal Iduna Park as they were made to pay for their missed chances with Adam Lallana hitting the post and Dele Alli wasting a one-on-one situation.
