Gareth Southgate has described England's display in their historic 2-0 win over Germany as "immense" - but warned his players must quickly refocus for their quarter-final.
Despite several anxious moments, most notably when the excellent Jordan Pickford saved from Timo Werner and Kai Havertz either side of half-time, England booked their place in the last eight of Euro 2020 with late goals from Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane. The win was England's first over Germany in a knockout game since the 1966 World Cup final.
England will face either Ukraine or Sweden in the last eight of Euro 2020 in Rome after beating Germany; Gareth Southgate: "The players were immense, right the way through the team.
The players were immense, right the way through the team," England manager Southgate said after seeing his side cheered to glory by 45,000 supporters. "The fans in the stadium were also incredible.
Gareth said I've been in here with a full house and not heard it near the levels heard today, but the energy was incredible in the stadium. To be able to send them home feeling as they do tonight... and you can't beat a bit of 'Sweet Caroline', that's a belter really!
"For those people, after such a difficult year at home, to have that enjoyment we've given them today was very special he said.
Lastly, he said But we've not achieved what we want to achieve yet. We can look back on a day like today in the future, but I want to get my focus right and look ahead to Saturday.
While Southgate scored a victory against the side he missed a penalty against at Euro 96, there is more work to be done to lift the trophy.
