England 3-1 Italy: England Made it Look Easy
England 3-1 Italy: Gareth Southgate Says More to Come From England
Once Again England Make Qualifying For a Major Tournament Look Easy.
BBC 18 OCT 2023
England have scored in their last six games in the 2024 European Championship qualifiers, their longest scoring streak.
Gareth Southgate's side came from a goal down to beat Italy 3-1 on Tuesday and secure their place at Euro 2024 in Germany with two games to spare.
They are unbeaten so far in qualifiers, and have only lost one such game in 24 years - when they were beaten 2-1 by Czech Republic in 2019.
On paper, it was not an easy group for England. They were drawn with the defending European champions Italy as well as Ukraine, North Macedonia and Malta, but in the end they made it look easy with five wins, one draw and no losses.
Despite that, Southgate believes his side are still capable of much more.
"We need to make sure we are one of the top seeds next month," he said. "We need to win our next two games. We want to be in control of that.
