Sturridge and Alli strike to fire Southgate's England to victory in his first game in charge over plucky minnows Malta at Wembley

ENGLAND 2-0 MALTA:We will, perhaps, hold off on calls for a knighthood just for now. After all, Sam Allardyce won his first game for England. 


Gareth Southgate can at least make it to Tuesday night in Slovenia and complete a second game before we start to assess his suitability to become a peer of the realm. But as auditions go, Southgate did just about alright; no more than that.
