IT IS east to get carried away by Saturday’s result in Germany. A young, energetic and fun England side beating the world champions in their backyard.

As Roy Hodgson rightfully pointed out after, the victory wasn’t down to slogging it out with grit and determination after England went 2-0 down and lost Jack Butland to an unfortunate injury.

No, Hodgson’s brave Lion cubs outplayed Germany and won 3-2 thanks to skill and flair.
