Speaking after the game, Shaw told ITV Sport: "Very happy to win on my first game back. Gareth [Southgate] said it before we want clean sheets and we got another. The pitch at times was difficult but we got the three points. Job done.

"The goal came at a crucial time for me as I gave a couple of sloppy balls away. When you play with Harry you know he will be in that area for you to hit.

"We controlled the tempo well at times. Their only chances came from mistakes to us. The pitch didn't help but no excuses. We know we made a couple of mistakes. Gareth said after we needed to control it better. Better teams might punish us."

Shaw added: "The last two years I have been watching the games and regretting not having taken my chance when I had them. I am just so happy to be back, even if I'm not playing and just around the squad it's still brilliant.

"I would love to be in the Euros squad. I think every single English player would want to. There is very high competition, Ben Chilwell played the other night and was outstanding, he's a really, really good player. I will keep pushing myself."
