Harry Maguire put through his own net against Scotland<\/p>\n
\u201cI was there in the stand as usual, it\u2019s not acceptable what\u2019s been created, over nothing. I understand that in the football world there are ups and downs, positives and negatives but what Harry receives has gone far beyond \u2018football\u2019. For me seeing him go through what he\u2019s going through is not ok.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would hate to have to see any other parents or players go through this in the future, especially the young boys and girls breaking through the ranks today. Harry has a massive heart and it\u2019s a good job he\u2019s mentally strong and can handle it as others might not be able too. I wish this sort of abuse on nobody!\u201d<\/p>\n
Maguire started England\u2019s first game of the international break – despite not starting a game for his club so far this season – as Southgate\u2019s side drew 1-1 with Ukraine in Poland. <\/p>\n
The defender has been a mainstay in Southgate\u2019s England side throughout his tenure in charge of the national team and the England boss issued an impassioned defence of Maguire after the Scotland game, labelling the constant criticism of him \u201cridiculous\u201d and \u201ca joke\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a consequence of ridiculous treatment of him for a long period of time, frankly,\u201d Southgate said. \u201cI\u2019ve never known a player treated the way he is \u2013 not by the Scottish fans, by our own commentators, pundits, whatever it is.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve created something that\u2019s beyond anything I\u2019ve ever seen. He\u2019s been an absolute stalwart for us in the second-most successful England team for decades. He\u2019s been an absolutely key part of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve talked about the importance of our senior players. He\u2019s been crucial amongst that. Every time he goes on the field, the resilience he shows, the balls he shows is absolutely incredible. He\u2019s a top player and we\u2019re all with him and our fans were brilliant with him tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
