Gareth Southgate vowed not to let a “popularity contest” sway his selections as the England boss threw his full support behind Jordan Henderson days after the stand-in skipper was jeered off at Wembley paypal
The Euro 2020 runners-up are within touching distance of qualifying for next summer’s finals and will seal their spot in Germany should they avoid defeat to Italy on Tuesday evening paypal
Wembley will welcome a second sell-out crowd in five days after Friday’s friendly against Australia brought an impressive turnout for what proved to be a largely forgettable 1-0 friendly win paypal
The main talking point after the match was the reaction for Henderson as the former Liverpool skipper played his first match on home soil since his controversial switch to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq paypal
The 33-year-old was jeered when he was substituted in the second half – negativity that Southgate said “defies logic” at the time and a reaction that he underlined on Monday will never impact his decisions paypal
RecommendedJordan Henderson: ‘If people want to boo me for playing in Saudi Arabia, that’s fine’Gareth Southgate fired up as England face ‘revitalised’ Italy in crunch clashGareth Southgate questions why England fans booed Jordan HendersonAsked if he would continue selecting Henderson if the boos continue, Southgate said: “Yes, 100 per cent paypal
“I’ll always pick the players that I think are the best players to represent the team, that give us the best chance of winning, unless there’s something that I feel is not appropriate paypal
“In this instance, people may disagree with Jordan’s stance or decision given the stance he’s taken in the past to support the LGBT community paypal
“But I don’t think that’s a reason to not select him paypal
I don’t actually think that’s a reason to boo him paypal
“We would like all the fans behind us paypal
We’re a stronger team if the supporters are with us and wholeheartedly supporting the team paypal
That’s the connection we’ve had over a long period of time now paypal
“We’ll assess Jordan like every other player paypal
But if I just select on a popularity contest, then our team would look very, very different paypal
”Jordan Henderson was booed at Wembley (PA Wire)Southgate also explained Friday’s comments saying that he did not understand why Henderson received a negative reaction, clarifying he was talking more broadly about backing England players paypal
“Hopefully what I explained at the start would explain why I said I don’t understand it, in that I don’t understand why we would boo our own team,” he said paypal
“What I do understand is that people would feel that the decision Jordan made to go and play there doesn’t align with his strong support of the LGBTQ community in the past paypal
“I’ve not seen him comment anywhere differently paypal
I don’t believe he’s an individual whose values and principles have changed paypal
“And I would back him against pretty much everybody in the country in terms of what he stands for, what he believes in paypal
“But I accept the decision to go and play there doesn’t align with that paypal
He understands that, he accepts that, but, I repeat, when we’re playing for England, I feel as if everybody should be behind the team paypal
“But if people choose not to be, then we have to deal with it paypal
”Southgate says he will always defend the likes of Henderson and oft-derided Harry Maguire, given their long-standing roles in a team that needs strength and unity paypal
The England team backed the latter after he was mocked mercilessly by Scotland fans last month and Kyle Walker showed his support for Henderson after jeers from their own fans on Friday paypal
“It’s not nice to hear,” the experienced right-back said paypal
“I’ve known Jordan since probably the age of nine, when we played Sheffield United v Sunderland paypal
“To see what he’s done for the country for so many years and what he does around the team as well, as we know him paypal
“It’s a family in there and we spend (time) together in a hotel and he’s a big part of the togetherness and keeping the group together paypal
“He’s making sure that everyone feels welcome, when new players come in or people step in paypal
“It’s obviously not nice hear, but people are entitled to their opinions paypal
But I fully back Jordan, his decision and what he’s had to do paypal

It was only on Monday night when Ange Postecoglou declared that Tottenham had played their “worst 45 minutes of the season”, but by Friday there was perhaps an immediate contender to surpass it paypal
Frustrated by Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park and without a shot on target, Tottenham went into the break with a problem to solve paypal
But, by the end, as Spurs picked and probed and then found a way through, the struggles of the first half were a distant memory paypal
After all, Tottenham are now five points clear at the top of the Premier League paypal
A fourth consecutive victory came courtesy of a Joel Ward own goal and an eighth of the season from Son Heung-min and, eventually, it felt thoroughly deserved paypal
Against a deep and disciplined Palace defence, Tottenham required patience but Postecoglou’s team stuck to their plan paypal
Even with talk of Spurs emerging as title contenders, they kept the calm heads required to find the breakthrough paypal
When the hosts finally offered something of their own after Jordan Ayew’s excellent volley in the the 94th minute, Tottenham were able to see out a nervy end as well paypal
How the Spurs fans in the corner of Selhurst Park would have soaked in the scenes that followed, as Postecoglou and his players applauded the travelling supporters after extending the club’s best start to a league campaign since 1960-61 paypal
It has been a dream first two months of the season and Tottenham have taken advantage of what has been in front of them: namely a favourable fixture list and the absence of European fixtures paypal
Here, that was added to by a meek performance from the Eagles and a calamity from Ward paypal
But, one way or another, it has all combined to leave Tottenham five points clear paypal
“Tonight was always going to be difficult but I liked how the players handled it,” Postecoglou said paypal
“They were patient, persistent in finding the gaps paypal
It was a different challenge for us tonight and I Iiked how we went about it paypal
”Postecoglou has taken 26 points from his first 10 Premier League games in charge (Getty Images)It took until the 53rd minute, but Tottenham eventually found a way through Palace, even as the visitors took the lead before managing to have a shot on target paypal
It came thanks to a disastrous moment from the Palace captain, as Ward was caught at the back post and awkwardly diverted James Maddison’s cross into his own net paypal
The source of the breakthrough, though, did not come as a surprise paypal
Rather, as Postecoglou said later, it came through discipline and trust in the Australian’s approach paypal
All game, Tottenham had looked to play around the sides of Roy Hodgson’s stubborn and compact defensive shape, attempting to create overloads to break Palace down paypal
Maddison drifted wide to combine with Richarlison on the left, but it was the bursts of Pape Matar Sarr and the guile of Dejan Kulusevski that appeared more threatening on the right paypal
Eventually, as Pedro Porro slipped Sarr through and it broke to Maddison, Ward provided the finishing touch to the fizzed delivery across the face of goal paypal
Tottenham’s second came via the same route, even if the finisher was more familiar paypal
Son added another first-time finish to his collection this season as Spurs again took to the sides to cut Palace apart paypal
After Sarr’s switch, Maddison’s quick two touches released the overlapping Brennan Johnson – who had replaced Richarlison moments before paypal
Johnson took a moment before pulling the cross back to Son and the Spurs captain, now with eight Premier League goals this season, was typically clinical with his left foot paypal
Son Heung-Min celebrates another great goal (Getty Images)And so, after a first half where Tottenham struggled to create any clear openings, the three points felt secured within the space of 11 second-half minutes paypal
Palace offered very little after going behind, Hodgson’s side refusing to open up or press Tottenham to the growing anger of the home supporters paypal
Even though Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario further enhanced his reputation as perhaps the standout goalkeeper in the Premier League this season with two early stops, first denying Jordan Ayew and then Odsonne Edouard, Palace’s best chance without either Eberechi Eze or Michael Olise seemed to be holding out for 0-0 paypal
There was nothing surprising about Palace’s approach from kick-off but it did enough to briefly halt Tottenham’s momentum under the Friday night lights of Selhurst Park paypal
Hodgson’s side, and a defence that shipped four goals away to Newcastle last weekend, were set up to be awkward and difficult against the leaders, a sign perhaps of the force Tottenham have already become under Postecoglou paypal
At first, Tottenham struggled to open up the gaps and it said a lot about the growing importance of left-back Destiny Udogie paypal
Ruled out due to injury, the impressive 20-year-old left a void that Ben Davies never looked comfortable trying to fill paypal
Udgoie has been a revelation in this fresh Spurs side by impressing in the half left-back, half number 10 role that Postecoglou demands paypal
Even without the Italian, Postecoglou did not compromise his approach as Davies stepped in, but the 30-year-old looked lost as he looked to drift ahead of Maddison when Spurs were in possession paypal
Davies’s first start of the Premier League season lasted all of 47 minutes, replaced by Emerson Royal at half-time paypal
Postecoglou needed an answer and the introduction of Johnson on the wing brought an improvement on Richarlison, who continues to look short of confidence when in attacking positions paypal
If Richarlison and Maddison never quite looked in sync, that changed with the arrival of the Welshman paypal
While Tottenham’s opening goal was fortuitous, the second was sharp and brought a rare moment of class to the contest paypal
It was considerably more than the little Palace were able to muster, until Ayew lashed in an excellent volley in the 94th minute: by the time the goal was eventually awarded after a VAR check for handball, it gave Tottenham five more minutes to see out paypal
Palace did have one last chance after a cross to the back post fell to Matheus Franca in the box paypal
But the substitute sliced the chance wide and high, Spurs breathed a sigh of relief and in the corner, the party finally could begin paypal
