'Not starting him is criminal': Gary Lineker joins fans in hailing Manchester City star Jack Grealish's 'special' England cameo against Germany - with some calling for him to start instead of Mason Mount

Gary Lineker joined England fans in insisting that Jack Grealish should start more for his country after a superb cameo against Germany.

Gareth Southgate's side salvaged a point in their Nations League clash in Munich on Tuesday night thanks to a late Harry Kane penalty.

England looked lethargic and short of ideas going forward and failed to create many clear-cut chances with Mason Mount in attacking midfield.

But Manchester City star Grealish replaced Chelsea midfielder Mount on 72 minutes and made an instant impact.

The £100million signing looked bright and was direct and penetrative, helping his side spark into life.
