England 2-1 Tunisia: 5 Talking Points, World Cup 2018

#2 Early goalkeeper substitution sees Tunisia switch tactics

Mouez Hassen had to come off 15 minutes after sustaining a shoulder injury

England's early inroads into Tunisia's box came at a price for their opponents as goalkeeper Mouez Hassen injured his shoulder when he went to ground attempting a save. Although the physios initially tended to him and he decided to carry on, the pain in his shoulder was unbearable after a certain point.

His substitution threw Tunisia's plans out the window as Hassen walked straight down the tunnel to receive more treatment and Farouk Ben Mustapha had to come on - a player who had not played in a long, long while.

His last international cap came in September 2014 despite playing in three African Cup of Nations tournaments. Always used to warming the bench in international matches, Mustapha was asked to warm up as early as five minutes into the game until Hassen came off.

On his part, Mustapha gave a good account of himself with a few confident claims. However, with one fewer substitutions to make, Tunisia did not make their changes as early as they would have liked.

Coach Nabil Maaloul had promised to approach this game without fear but his first planned substitution did not come until the 74th minute. The African side were pretty much on the back foot until then and were content to play for a draw with English goalkeeper Jordan Pickford rarely troubled in the second half.

Sadly Mustapha could do nothing about the late winner with Kane unmarked at the far post on a corner.
