'I thought they were for me!' - Mount confused by Gomez's England boos

  /  autty

Mason Mount thought that England’s fans were booing him - and not substitute Joe Gomez - as sections of the crowd at Wembley Stadium turned on the Liverpool defender.

“I thought they were booing me when I came off," Mount said. "It has gone now, everything has been worked out in the camp and now I think the focus goes on to the next game.

"We are a strong side together, we get together and stay together. So we will just focus on the next game.”

Tammy Abraham echoed Mount’s thoughts as he came off the bench to score his first international goal for England.

“We had an incident today with Joe. We’re all England, players or fans, we need everyone to be together,” Abraham added. “At times like that we need fans to lift us up and help us, really. Going into tournaments like that, we need that.

“We said after the game that it was unacceptable. We don’t need that. He’s a great player. Things happen in football, things happen between team-mates. It’s just about dusting yourself off and moving on. As you can see, we’ve all moved on from the situation here. We’re thinking positive.”
