Southgate says England has world-class attack

England boss Gareth Southgate says he has a world-class forward line at his disposal.

An attacking group of Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling tore Bulgaria to shreds in a 4-0 victory on Saturday.

With teenagers Jadon Sancho and Callum Hudson-Odoi also in the fold, Southgate is happy with his options up front.

"I think that they're as exciting as anything, really," Southgate said of his attacking unit.

"I remember going to Spain and thinking 'well, a really tough game, but actually you look at our front three and their front three on the night and I felt that we were strong'.

"And I've got to say, we've got Sancho and Hudson-Odoi who are going to push, and really push, so I think that it is exciting.

"You need to have players on the field to affect the games, but you need to have players that can come in and have an impact and I think we're in a healthy position."
