Mason Mount believes England’s win over Hungary in such a hostile atmosphere shows the confidence and strength in character within the Three Lions’ squad.

The Chelsea midfielder played a key role as Gareth Southgate’s side brushed aside Hungary in a World Cup qualifier last week, setting up Raheem Sterling for the opening goal in Budapest.

The home fans were pictured throwing cups of drink at the England players as they celebrated, with the Three Lions having the last laugh as further goals from Harry Kane, Harry Maguire and Declan Rice secured a comfortable three points.

After the game, Mount spoke to the media and highlighted the confidence in the England squad and how the reaction from the partisan home crowd played a part in the victory.

‘I don’t think we have ever been scared of anything,’ the Chelsea midfielder explained.

‘We are growing in confidence, it is not over-confidence, but we know what we have got in the team.

'When the whole stadium is against us we grow. As players we spoke about it and knew it would be a hostile environment and we revel in the opportunities.

‘We want to show what we can do on the ball and make the stadium silent with how we are playing and what we are doing and we showed that in the second half.

'We had a killer instinct in front of goal. It killed the game off and then gave them no hope. As soon as we scored, you could tell within the atmosphere that something was going to be thrown or something would happen and luckily no one got hurt or anything like that.’

Mount believes England can take this performance into the next two qualifiers coming up this week, starting with Andorra at Wembley on Sunday and then Wednesday’s trip to Poland.

‘This was a massive win for us and especially in the make-up of the group, as it put us further ahead,’ added Mason.

‘We won’t take a breather thought and we have two more games this camp and we are obviously very focused and ready to keep pushing.

‘Obviously to come off the back of the Euros final and what happened in the summer, this was a massive, massive game for us to put a stamp down that we are coming back, coming back stronger and with even more focus and a stronger desire to succeed.’
