England U21s manager, Gareth Southgate, has accepted that Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe deserved to be sent off in his side&rsquo;s 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Saturday in a UEFA European U21 Championship Group 9 Qualifier.<br /><br />Ibe took the walk of shame after he was yellow-carded for the second time in second-half stoppage time and will serve a one-match suspension.<br /><br />&ldquo;It was justified. There were a few bookings given in the game for players being tugged back and both incidents were similar,&rdquo; Gareth Southgate said, according to thefa.com.<br /><br />&ldquo;Players at this age go through peaks and troughs &ndash; he doesn&rsquo;t look full of confidence at the moment but we have to try and get him to the level that we think he is capable of achieving.&rdquo;<br /><br />England would have nicked a win at the Arena Thun but Chuba Akpom, who had opened scoring, saw his effort cleared off the line.<br /><br />&ldquo;The margins of winning... a better ball to Chuba and he probably scores when it is cleared off the line and then we don&rsquo;t defend the counter-attack at all well,&rdquo; added Southgate .<br /><br />In their next two fixtures, the England U21s face Norway and Bosnia at home in September before tackling Kazakhstan the following month.<br /><br /><b>Igho Kingsley</b><br /><br /><span class="body1"><br /></span>Photo Credit : liverpoolfc.com<br />
