England coach Southgate delighted for Lascelles and Newcastle captaincy

England coach Gareth Southgate is delighted for Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles.

Southgate is happy seeing Lascelles now getting a regular game this season.

After seeing last week's Champions League win against PSG, Southgate said: "There are some fabulous stories. Jamaal Lascelles was with us in the Under-21s and has been a fantastic leader for Newcastle.

"He has had to be fantastically patient waiting for his chance. There are those sorts of stories all over the pitch. I know Kieran Trippier is flavour of the month now, but we used to pick him and people used to laugh. He's proved himself again and again and again.

They gave an excellent performance and it was a brilliant night for a fanbase and football club who are totally united and have obviously had a difficult 20 years waiting for a night like that."
