Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings was proud to be part of England's Euros victory over Croatia.

The 28-year-old defender gave an assured performance alongside John Stones at the heart of England's defence in the 1-0 win over Croatia.

And as the only left-footer in the back four, he appears certain to keep his place for Friday's game against Scotland.

"It was about as perfect as it could have gone," said Mings. "It's a dream come true to play in a major tournament for England and I loved every second of it.

"It was important to make a good start. We know the threats they have and how hard it could have been. It was great to play in front of our home fans and to cap it off with a win is perfect."

He added: "The team showed a lot of grit, a lot of determination and a lot of quality. It was an all-round great day."
