Manchester City player bounces back after conceding penaltySouthgate: ‘We’re not looking at him for being at fault’
Gareth Southgate praised Rico Lewis after the Manchester City youngster bounced back from giving away a harsh penalty on his international debut and impressed during England’s dull 1-1 draw with North Macedonia.
Lewis, who turns 19 on Tuesday, did not panic when he was penalised for an innocuous challenge following a lengthy VAR review at the end of the first half at the Tose Proeski Arena. He looked mature at left-back and boosted his hopes of being included in England’s squad for Euro 2024.
