#3 Kieron Trippier

Croatia v England : Semi Final - 2018 FIFA World Cup

England right full-back, Kieran Trippier has been brilliant for Gareth Southgate down the right flank. Both defensively and offensively, the player has proved to be a real threat notching up a number of assists and a goal to his name while remaining solid defensively.

With great delivery and service from the player to the attacking players in the team, while acting as a solid cover for the back three, the hard-working right full-back has been exceptional. Trippier has been key for Spurs as well despite their signing of Aurier to replace Walker in the team.

With Walker acting as the right center-half in the back three in the national set-up, the player has gelled with Trippier playing in his preferred position and formed a good aggressive duo for the country. He was crucial for England when they come up against a physically challenging Swedish team but they got through the test, setting up a clash with Croatia.

Trippier sent England on their way with a gem of a free kick in the opening few minutes, however, despite a resilient shift, England were ousted 2-1, bringing an end to their world cup campaign. All-in-all for England were amazing all tournament long and entertained fans throughout with their style of play.
