Liverpool defender Joe Gomez says Brazil made England's friendly a competitive fixture.

Brazil won 1-0 at Wembley on Saturday.

“The number of fouls they gave away was, I'm sure, on the higher end of the scale," Gomez said.

“It just shows both teams wanted to win and didn't treat it like a friendly. It's an important time for the team, leading up to a major tournament, so that's the way Gareth [Southgate] wants us to approach the game.

“It's a massive fixture against a top team, so it was nice to be out there. It's disappointing we didn't get the win. The team played so well and dominated a lot of the game. They showed their quality with that chance."

The Liverpool defender said of Brazil: “They've got well-established quality up front. They're really good in and around the box, and with those combinations they showed how sharp they are. They finished the chance off to win the game, and those are the fine margins.

“They did well, but we have a lot of things to be positive about as well. We kept the ball well and had good possession. It's an important game on Tuesday [against Belgium]. We want to gain momentum again.
