Southgate can take some comfort, however, in the fact England adapted to these unusual surroundings better than Croatia and created by far the better opportunities. It was a more frustrating night for Chelsea's Ross Barkley, given his first England appearance since May 2016 after his recent renaissance. England had just five shots against Croatia - the fewest in an away game since June 2013 against Brazil (two). Sterling has gone 1,810 minutes without a goal for England - last scoring for the Three Lions against Estonia in October 2015. England travel to Seville to face Spain in their next Uefa Nations League fixture on Monday (19:45 BST).
