A second-half penalty scored by Dominik Szoboszlai sealed a 1-0 win for Hungary over England in the UEFA Nations League in Budapest on Saturday.

England manager Gareth Southgate handed debuts to Leicester's James Justin and West Ham's Jarrod Bowen at the Puskas Arena.

It looked harsh, but Szoboszlai stepped up to fire low into Jordan Pickford's bottom-right corner to give Hungary the lead after 66 minutes.
