Getting carried away with England 'no bad thing' after Nations League win, says Neville

Getting carried away with England is "not such a bad thing" after the Three Lions beat Croatia to progress to the Nations League semi-final, according to Gary Neville.

England scored twice in the final 12 minutes at Wembley to overturn a one-goal deficit and leapfrog Croatia and Spain to win the group, thus advancing to the last four of the inaugural edition of the tournament to be played in Portugal in June.

England had looked set to be relegated from the Nations League top flight when Andrej Kramaric’s goal gave the visitors a 1-0 lead midway through the second half, before goals from Jesse Lingard and an 85th-minute winner from Harry Kane turned the game and helped Gareth Southgate’s side avenge last summer’s World Cup semi-final defeat.
