Roy Hodgson: 'We could have scored more'

England boss Roy Hodgson feels that his side's margin of victory over San Marino could have been greater than the 5-0 scoreline at Wembley.

England boss Roy Hodgson feels that his side could have won by a more comfortable margin in their 5-0 victory over San Marino at Wembley.

The Three Lions eased to the win over the minnows to secure their second victory of their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, although Hodgson's side missed several opportunities to improve the scoreline, while Adam Lallana also saw a goal wrongly disallowed for offside.

"I think could we have scored a lot more. I was disappointed the goal got chalked off, I thought that was a little bit harsh," Hodgson told Sky Sports News.

"I thought there were quite a few occasions where we were a little bit unlucky not to get more goals because we did play - especially in the second half - very much in their penalty area.

"But what pleased me most was that we kept trying to do the right things right throughout the game and even right at the end when we were leading 5-0 and lost the ball, I thought the recovery runs were fantastic."

England are top of Group E with maximum points from their two qualifying matches.
