What Man City ace Phil Foden said to Gareth Southgate after England sub was withdrawn vs Italy
Phil Foden approached Gareth Southgate after his early substitution on England duty to set the record straight.
The Manchester City forward began their 2-1 win in Italy on the bench and watched as his teammates scored two goals in the first half to set up a famous victory. The hosts recovered in the second half and had pulled a goal back when Southgate decided that he wanted Foden to come on and replace club teammate Jack Grealish in the 69th minute.

However, the 22-year-old had barely been on the pitch for 10 minutes when defender Luke Shaw was shown a second yellow card, hamstringing England as they tried to hold onto their victory. Southgate decided that Foden would be the one to come off as he brought on Newcastle's Kieran Trippier to see out the game.
Kalvin Phillips makes honest admission about 'difficult' Man City decision
Kalvin Phillips admits it's been 'very difficult' adapting new squad role at Manchester City but insists joining the Blues is one of the 'best decisions' he's ever made.
Phillips joined City last summer in a deal worth £42million, the combative midfielder leaving boyhood club Leeds United where he had spent 14 years. A first-ever move away from the West Yorkshire club was compounded by a change in stature, the 27-year-old going from an ever-present talisman to a squad player at the Etihad.
A full 90 minutes for England on Thursday evening was more than he has managed in the Premier League all season for City, his five substitute appearances totalling 65 minutes - a consequence of several minor injuries and the issue of having to displace the outstandingly consistent Rodri.
