'I'm not good enough' - Neville admits 'the buck stops with him' after England lose to Germany

Phil Neville says he is happy to take full responsibility for England's poor form of late, after watching his side succumb to a 2-1 friendly defeat to Germany on Saturday.

The Lionesses fell behind in front of a record-breaking 77,768 crowd at Wembley after just nine minutes of action , with Alexandra Popp heading home for the visitors.

Ellen White's one-touch strike levelled the match just before half-time but Germany had the final say when Klara Buhl slid the ball past England goalkeeper Mary Earps in the 90th minute.
