Southgate: My England team aren't 'haunted' by failure like teams of the past

As he prepares to take a young squad featuring four uncapped players into Euro 2020 qualification games their coach says they must stick to their guns

England manager Gareth Southgate says his young England team is not haunted by failure in the way other players have been, despite suffering setbacks deep in competitions in each of the last two summers.

The Three Lions were eliminated at the semi-final stage of the 2018 World Cup and the 2019 Nations League, but Southgate thinks the success in reaching the latter stages of those competitions will stand his team in good stead.
