Villa's Milner insists England players not over-confident

Aston Villa winger James Milner says England's players weren't getting carried ahead of their defeat to Ukraine.

He said: "We are disappointed to lose the 100 per cent record. We came to Ukraine to win and wanted to make it 10 wins out of 10 in our group.

"That is not possible but we can start learning from these games. Going down to 10 men is a learning curve especially with it happening so early in a match.

"It might happen at some stage in the World Cup and it is about using that as an experience and learning from this. We did well with 10 men and were unlucky not to get something out of the game."
