Hodgson warns England not to underestimate Estonia

England coach Roy Hodgson says they must not underestimate Euro2016 qualifying opponents Estonia.

After beating Switzerland and San Marino, England are big favourites to make it three wins from three qualifying matches when they take on Estonia in Tallinn this weekend.

Spain lost 2-1 away to Slovakia this week while in the last round of matches Albania defeated Portugal.

"The players are aware of those results," the England manager said.

"These results are happening more and more.

"Maybe 20 or 30 years ago a game between an England and an Estonia or Luxembourg would be an easy game.

"But we all realise now it will only be an easy game if you play well enough to make it an easy game.

"And we won't be taking this one lightly."
