Gareth Southgate had won two and drawn one of his first three games – all World Cup qualifiers – in charge of the England national team, but in November 2016 he faced his first genuine test with a visit from 2010 World Cup winners Spain at Wembley. His side flew out of the blocks, as Jamie Vardy ran in behind a static Spanish defence and was brought down by former Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina. Adam Lallana duly slotted home the penalty, and when Vardy rose to head home a Jordan Henderson cross early in the second half England looked in control.

Substitute Theo Walcott wasted a chance to extend the lead to three, and the hosts were made to pay at the death. Another former Liverpool man, Iago Aspas, curled home what looked a consolation on 89 minutes, but Real Madrid midfielder Isco popped up to equalise in the sixth minute of added time. In this exclusive piece for The Coaches’ Voice, Southgate explains his approach to the game, the part his team played in the tactics on the day, and what lessons he learned as he continued to build a squad towards Russia 2018.

  1. Southgate had one job…. WIN FOOTBALL GAMES!
    Not politics or virtue signalling, just win football games!
    He has divided the country with his far left, woke garbage!

  2. Not listening to a word that comes out of your mouth since the euro final. How could you ruin 3 careers like that and more importantly the nation as a whole, disgraceful, ego motivated decision

  3. Wow, a masterclass in how to get a 2-2 draw in a friendly using a high press against a nation who typically treats a friendly for what it is. And still could not win

  4. Make a special about how he lost the plot vs Croatia 2018 & then in the final vs Italy last year. Absolutely inept in the decisive moments.

  5. What an insult to the best managers to call this man a masterclass Norwich wouldn’t even call him up makes you think what if big Sam stayed

  6. With Gareth Southgate I always feel he gets the right players on the pitch in the right positions. If they don’t perform and don’t get a result, it’s invariably because an individual player did not play well, not because he was picked to play in the wrong position on the pitch.
