England manager Gareth Southgate vowed to take inspiration from the late Sir Bobby Robson after his side's humbling at the hands of Hungary.

Southgate's Three Lions were beaten 4-0 at home by their rivals in UEFA Nations League A on Tuesday.

England have failed to score from open play in the group stages of this competition, also facing Italy and Germany recently.

Southgate said post-game: "I knew the role before I took it. I would say it [fans' opinion of him changing] has happened over 10 days not 11 months but I saw all my predecessors go through that and I know great people like Sir Bobby Robson what he had to go through and how he was viewed in the end on getting the team to a World Cup semi-final.

"Football is emotional, people pay to come and watch, will give an opinion. The team weren't able to deliver tonight, that's my responsibility so if the flak comes my way I have to deal with that.

"You won't be the England manager, it's not realistic to have the ride I've had for five years and not have bad nights, difficult nights, criticism, that's part and parcel of the job. I understand tonight is a chastening experience.

"We've not lost many football matches and when you lose so heavily, at home especially, but when you lose heavily with England it's going to be very, very painful.

"This group of players have been unbelievable for their country. It's important people stick with them as they'll be strong moving forward.

"It [fan reaction] is not pleasant. The irony is that the pressure we've had and the reputation or comments have come in the two Nations League campaigns, and in neither campaign have we been able to pick anything near our strongest team.

"The matches in which other England managers have been judged we've had the best performances for 50 years. I totally understand there's been this narrative all week. I can't dress up tonight in any way shape or form but if we're judged on matches with our full strength players it's a different assessment."
