Gareth Southgate discloses dialogue with Phil Foden following his substitution after only 11 minutes.

Gareth Southgate Reveals Conversation with Phil Foden After Italy Game

England celebrated a thrilling 2-1 victory over Italy, thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Declan Rice. However, the match wasn’t without drama, as Manchester United’s Luke Shaw was sent off, forcing Gareth Southgate to make a substitution. Phil Foden was introduced in the 69th minute, but after just 11 minutes on the pitch, he was replaced by Newcastle full-back, Kieran Trippier. Southgate has now revealed what he said to Foden to explain the decision, stating that the Man City winger “knew exactly what we needed to do.” Despite rumours of unrest within the England camp, Southgate insists that Foden was understanding of the situation. The Three Lions boss was pleased with his team’s performance and praised Declan Rice’s “top performance level in midfield.” Meanwhile, Harry Kane became England’s all-time leading goal scorer with his decisive goal. Foden has scored three goals in 22 appearances for the England first team.
