THE RECORDS HE DIDN’T WANT

ENGLAND won more games (15), scored more goals (52) and kept more clean sheets (14) under Gareth Southgate in 2021 — all records. How times have changed.

5 England are winless in their last five matches (D2, L3), their longest run without a win since 2014 and their longest run in competitive matches since 1992 495

The Three Lions have gone 495 minutes without a goal from open play, since Raheem Sterling’s strike against Ivory Coast in March

2000 You have to go back 22 years for the last time England went three successive games without scoring

65.7 Southgate’s win percentage in 70 matches until the end of March

7 Of Southgate’s 13 defeats with England, seven have come in the Nations League

5 Under Southgate, England have gone five straight matches without a first-half goal

2 England are one of only two nations yet to score a non-penalty goal in the current Nations League — the other is San Marino
