Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Arsenal hero, Ian Wright, has slammed England manager Gareth Southgate\u2019s decision to substitute Manchester City\u2019s Phil Foden during the Three Lions\u2019 Euro 2020 goalless draw against Scotland on Friday.<\/p>\n

England were overwhelming favourites to win the encounter, but Southgate\u2019s men were second best for much of a contest from which Scotland emerged with enormous credit at Wembley.<\/p>\n

Foden was one of the few England players to emerge with any credit and there were audible boos when the forward was taken off and replaced by Aston Villa\u2019s Jack Grealish.<\/p>\n

But Wright believes Southgate\u2019s decision to substitute Foden was \u2018very disappointing\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s plain to see that he (Harry Kane) doesn\u2019t look his best, let us be fair,\u201d Wright told ITV.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look at the chances created, Reece James coming into the team, one of the best crossers from his position but hardly any crosses. Not enough balls into the last third for people to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat has he [Southgate] taken Foden off for? There is no way Phil Foden should be leaving the pitch today. It is very disappointing to see.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have got someone like Jadon Sancho on the bench, 16 goals and 20 assists doesn\u2019t even get on when we need to create.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can talk about Harry Kane and the chances he could have had or how many touches he didn\u2019t have, but at the same time, did we really create enough?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are supposed to be a team that is one of the favourites to win, but I was embarrassed today.\u201d<\/p>\n

England will tackle Czech Republic in their last game in Group D on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
