​Tottenham star Kane angry about Southgate questions after England defeat

Tottenham star Harry Kane does not believe this is the moment to talk about England manager Gareth Southgate's future.

The Three Lions were humbled 4-0 at home by Hungary in the UEFA Nations League A on Tuesday night.

It was the worst home defeat that England have suffered in many decades.

Post-game, Kane, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, said: "It's a really disappointing question to be asked. Let's not forget where we have come from.

"Gareth has been a key part of transforming this England team to one of the most successful sides we have had in the past 50 years.

"I know it's disappointing for the fans. It has been a disappointing camp, every now and then football throws up a surprise, we have to look at the big picture.

"It's the first low point I've had in five years, a really disappointing night. We expect to win these games, but it wasn't our night. We need to stay calm and learn from it.

"We've had two fantastic tournaments in a row. It's not the time to panic. It's a loss we're disappointed with but we need to stay calm and we know we have stuff to work on."
