Man United captain Maguire was booed by his supporters and he lost possession of the ball to Jamal Musiala. Maguire then fouled the player inside the penalty box which led to Germany’s first goal.
The scoreline moved to 2-0 before England completed the comeback to make it 3-2. However, Nick Pope’s mistake gave Kai Havertz his second goal of the night.
Speaking after the game, Gareth Southgate said: “It is hard to tell from the side. It is the giving away of possession that is the problem but look, as a group, they have really come together this week. It has been a tough period for the team but they have grown.
On Pope, he added: “It is an error and of course, he’s going to be down but the team has to be together and we have done that all week.
