England got off to the perfect start as they secured their first win in Italy since 1961, with Harry Kane breaking the all time goalscoring record with a first-half penalty.
It came in Kane and England’s first match since the striker missed a second penalty in the country’s quarter-final defeat to France at the World Cup.
"To break the record in the manner he did given the recent history was an indication of his strength of character and his mentality,” Southgate said.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of England’s second fixture of Group C.
When is England vs Ukraine?
The match will kick off at 5pm BST on Sunday 26 March at Wembley.
How can I watch it?
It will be shown live on Channel 4 in the UK, with coverage starting at 4pm. It will also be available to stream on All 4.
What was the England team news?
England head into their clash against Ukraine with a depleted squad. Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount and Nick Pope withdrew from the initial selection, with Reece James pulling out of the squad on Saturday for an assessment on what the Football Association called an “ongoing issue”.
Luke Shaw trained with the group on the eve of the game but is suspended following his sending-off for two yellow cards in Italy. Southgate is hopeful they have “just about got enough to get through the game”, downplaying concerns over midfielders Jordan Henderson, Jude Bellingham and Kalvin Phillips.
“They’re all good,” the England boss said. “With Kalvin, (Italy) was his first 90 for a little while. He had 90 at Bristol City in the cup, so we’ll just have to assess freshness as much as anything. “But that’s the same with the whole group. It is that time of the year and we have got to get the balance right of continuity, consistency, but also freshness.”

England: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell; Henderson, Rice, Bellingham; Saka, Kane, Maddison.
