England captain, Harry Kane, has said their 2-1 victory over Nigeria in an international friendly on Saturday, was a difficult match.
Gary Cahill opened scoring, before Kane doubled the Three Lions’ lead.
But the Super Eagles bounced back in the second half, with Alex Iwobi pulling one back.
“It was a good win against a tough side. In the first half I thought we were excellent,” Kane said in his post-match reaction.
“We moved the ball quickly and got in behind them and created a lot of chances.
“In the second half we had trouble when they changed their formation early on – that always puts the pressure on.
“But then we kept the ball better and got used to their formation and in the end, saw the game out well.
“I feel at my best, definitely. It’s great to score – getting on the score sheet is always nice for a striker.
“I’m looking forward to the game on Thursday. It’s another tough one and another test and then we’re looking forward to the next month or so.”
England face Costa Rica on Thursday, while Nigeria play Czech Republic on Wednesday.
