Maguire praises excellent Ben White following uneven England comeback

Arsenal full back White netted the opener upon his return to the England squad yet he gave away a penalty in the dying moments which Real Madrid playmaker Federico Valverde slotted home for Uruguay.

Maguire commented right after the match: A touch mad to get that opening goal. He was outstanding once he stepped onto the pitch.

I wont comment on the error leading to that penalty if I were there Id try to stop the shot too. Thats our duty. Its an incredibly soft call.

Hes performed well throughout training with a constant grin and injected positive vibes into the group. He earned his moment with that strike tonight and shone brightly after coming on.

He added: We dominated the match entirely they barely had a sniff of a chance.

We could have done more we realise that. The substitutions disrupted our flow somewhat but thats typical in these fixtures around the hour mark.

Overall we held the upper hand they rarely threatened our area and then that absurd spot kick decided it.
