Now they are top of their group in Nations League B and will take on the Republic of Ireland on Sunday.

Speaking after the Greece match, Watkins said: “It’s a great result. A good reaction after playing them at home, obviously a loss.

“We had it in our minds that we needed to win tonight. It was a good performance, and we coped with their threat.

“Getting a goal early just settles the nerves, and obviously makes them come out, and they have to deliver and come out with a bit of quality to beat us and break us down.

“They didn’t do that tonight, we coped with them, and then we went on to punish them late on.”
