Jermain Defoe praises Mason Mount and Bukayo Saka for their impact off the bench in England's 3-3 draw against Germany... and thinks the Chelsea man has given Gareth Southgate 'something to think about' after his eye-catching cameo performance

Jermain Defoe thinks Mason Mount has given Gareth Southgate 'something to think about' after his impressive cameo performance in England's 3-3 draw against Germany on Monday night.

Mount and Bukayo Saka came off the bench at Wembley with England 2-0 down, but both made an impact as they combined for the Three Lions' second goal with the Chelsea man firing into the corner of the net after Saka's driving run.

Defoe was particularly pleased with Mount's influence in the latter stages of the game, and suggested his display could see him get back into Southgate's starting line-up for the World Cup in Qatar.
