England manager Gareth Southgate expressed significant admiration for Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier following the team's victory over Scotland, with Southgate addressing the media after England's 3-1 win at Hampden Park.
The match against Scotland was intense, as both teams sought to outperform their neighboring rivals. However, England demonstrated their considerable quality, particularly in the first half, where they controlled the game.
Young talents Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden made a notable impact, contributing significantly to all three goals. Gareth Southgate made changes to the England lineup following their 1-1 draw with Ukraine, including the inclusion of Kieran Trippier.
As has been the case in many international appearances, Trippier was deployed on the left side, with Kyle Walker excelling on the right. Trippier delivered another strong performance, highlighting his versatility and continued importance to the England squad.
Speaking about the match, Southgate said, via TBRFootball: “We’re building all the time, we want to keep improving, we keep pushing the players.
“We’ve been able to experiment a bit this week as well with two new centre-backs who have come in who are relatively inexperienced and both have done really well.
“But, some of our senior players are just so influential. [Kyle] Walker and [Kieran] Trippier tonight were absolutely outstanding.
“The impact of our senior players on this group just can’t be underestimated.”
