England manager Gareth Southgate conceded that his side underperformed in their Group D clash against Scotland on Friday (June 18) but was not concerned by the jeers of some fans at Wembley as he said the team was still on track to reach the last 16.
England were stymied and stifled by a stubborn Scotland side in a 0-0 draw which puts them level on four points with group leaders Czech Republic, who they host on Tuesday.
The front line of Harry Kane, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling failed to click into any sort of rhythm, with a second-half long-range effort by Mason Mount England's only shot on target, although John Stones hit the upright early on with a header.
The final whistle brought boos from a section of the England supporters who were perhaps expecting a more spirited attacking display, more in line with the 2-0 victory over Scotland at the old Wembley during Euro '96. However, Southgate urged patience.
