Gareth Southgate admitted England got away with it after escaping another embarrassing result against Iceland as Raheem Sterling's penalty secured a 1-0 win in a dramatic finale to kick off their UEFA Nations League campaign on Saturday.

After Sterling opened the scoring in the 92nd minute, Birkir Bjarnason missed a spot-kick for the hosts as both sides were also reduced to 10 men in the final 20 minutes in Reykjavik.
