England boss Thomas Tuchel says his players are well aware that they were below-par in their 1-0 victory over Andorra on Saturday.

Tuchel’s side came under criticism for their performance in Saturday’s World Cup qualifier, where Harry Kane scored the only goal in the second half.

Tuchel said: “I think there was common sense straight after in the dressing room.

“We all shared the same feeling. We have to look at the side, we created an xG of four. If you look at the sides who played Andorra, we had more xG than them but failed to convert chances, being clinical and our efficiency, accuracy in our chances.

“We underperformed clearly in the physical input in the game which you could see on the sideline and the data. We didn’t run enough.”
