GARETH SOUTHGATE says England’s battling win against Serbia in Sunday’s European Championship opener “builds a huge spirit” heading into a tough second group game against Denmark.

The Euro 2020 runners-up made a fast start as the brilliant Jude Bellingham headed them into an early lead in Gelsenkirchen.

But England’s dominant start petered off as Serbia made life hard, meaning they had to dig deep in a narrow 1-0 victory that puts them top of Group C after the first round of fixtures.
