England Under-21s boss Lee Carsley admits he was relieved after his side scraped a 1-0 win over Andorra's youngsters.

The Three Lions secured a win in the Euro 2023 qualifier thanks to an Emile Smith Rowe goal in the second half.

England had to play some of the contest with ten men, due to a controversial red card for Rhian Brewster.

Carsley said after the game: "Yeah, (it's) definitely (a relief). The idea is to win every game but, like you saw against Slovenia, we didn't make it easy at times tonight. They were tough and stubborn to break down.

"It was pleasing that the one goal we did get was a counter from one of their times coming out to try and score. It was a great finish by Emile and excellent from Curtis (Jones) as well.

"Rhian needs to learn. It was harsh, innocuous, but ultimately we had to grind a result out. I'm really pleased with the spirit the lads showed.

"We've had 80 per cent possession and 15 shots, they haven't had a shot and we could have ended up drawing 0-0.

"They were never going to come and attack us too much but when I looked at the draw a while back you know games like this are going to be really tough."
