England 2-1 Croatia: 5 Hits and Flops, UEFA Nations League 2018/19

#1 Hit: Jesse Lingard

Lingard wheels away to celebrate a timely equaliser for England

It's been a great week for Jesse Lingard, after forgettable displays in the Manchester derby and away against Juventus since returning from injury recently. Today, it just got even better - particularly after his display against the USA on Thursday.

Making an appearance off the substitutes' bench with just over 15 minutes plus stoppages to play, he was an inspired change and was eager to stamp his authority on the game.

In terms of timing, he executed everything to perfection. First in his own half, he was alert and made an important goalline clearance to deny Domagoj Vida's headed effort.

Then, he was in the right place at the right time - benefiting from Kane's tame effort to prod into an empty net with Lovre Kalinić in no man's land. You could argue his goal was fortuitous, but crucially found himself in the right attacking position and made no mistake.

Ahead of a tough run of important fixtures for Manchester United, Lingard will be hoping this is precisely the momentum he needs to retain a starting berth under Jose Mourinho.
