Chelsea defender Cahill: England must keep working to silence doubters

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill felt England's new-look team made a statement with victory in Switzerland.

After such a miserable World Cup campaign, Cahill admits it felt good to get back to winning ways in the competitive arena.

"We know about the disappointment in the summer but we draw a line under that now and move forward," said the Chelsea defender.

"I don't think the criticism will be blown away. It is going to take time but it is a great start.

"In the period of two games we are not going to change everyone's opinion, but certainly I hope it is not all doom and gloom.

"I hope there are a few happy faces around. I think we deserve credit for this game and we are looking forward to next month."
