Gareth Southgate Heaps Praise on Marcus Rashford Following Match Winning Performance

England boss Gareth Southgate was full of praise for Marcus Rashford and his team as they came from behind to secure a win over Slovakia on Monday evening at Wembley.

Despite going behind in the third minute to a Stanislav Lobotka goal, the Three Lions rallied to claim all three points after goals from Eric Dier and the impressive Rashford.

The result leaves England four points clear at the top of Group F only needing a point from their remaining two games to secure a place at next summer's World Cup in Russia.

Speaking to the press after the game, Southgate revealed that he was pleased with his side's' performance and that it was his most satisfying win as England manager yet, saying:

"Yeah definitely I think to come from behind against a side who i thought had some very good footballers especially in midfield it was a real step forward for us.
