'It is 0-0, a clean sheet, we are happy with that, but disappointed we didn't come away with three points.
'I'm 27, I'm here to help England, these players and the team - that is the main goal, I don't care about my own performance as long as we win.'
Speaking after the game, former Liverpool team-mate Jamie Carragher praised the Wolves defender.
He said: 'I love him. Not just because he came through Liverpool and I got to know him. You can’t help but like him. This was probably beyond his wildest dreams.'
Gary Neville added: 'He’s come through really well. He passed the ball well, led, kept a clean sheet and I think he will be happy that he’ll make the squad next month.'
