Gareth Southgate has admitted that Harry Kane was not fit enough and failed to meet expectations at Euro 2024 following England’s defeat to Spain in the final.
The Three Lions were a goal down when the Bayern Munich striker was replaced by Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins on the hour mark, and the side looked more threatening in attack from that point onwards.
Although Cole Palmer cancelled out Nico Williams’ opener in the 73rd minute, the Three Lions were ultimately defeated by a late winner from Mikel Oyarzabal to secure an historic victory for Spain.
La Roja are the first nation to win the European Championship four times, while England are still waiting for their first trophy since 1966.
