Kieran Trippier, England midfielder
Harry Kane rightly stole the headlines after his match-winning double for England against Tunisia on Monday, but one of his Tottenham team-mates caught the eye with his creativity.
Kieran Trippier, playing at right wing-back, created six chances for England at the Volgograd Arena – the most of any player so far at the World Cup.
To underline the significance, England created 14 chances in the whole match.
It capped a very encouraging display by the 27-year-old, who was playing in only eighth England match.
Trippier was one of England’s designated set-piece takers against Tunisia and it was from his corner that Kane eventually scored England’s winner.
He completed 41 out of his 52 attempted passes and balanced his defensive responsibilities alongside attacking duties well.
