Hodgson: England should take pride in perfect record

Roy Hodgson has urged his players not to downplay the achievement of winning 10 out of 10 Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Roy Hodgson feels England should be proud after beating Lithuania 3-0 on Monday to seal a perfect record in Group E of Euro 2016 qualification.

The victory in Vilnius came through strikes from Ross Barkley and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, either side of a Giedrius Arlauskis own goal.

England was the only team across all groups to achieve a perfect record and it is only the sixth time the accomplishment has been achieved in European Championship qualifying history.
