#3 Kieran Trippier carries his World Cup form

Kieran Trippier was one of the best right backs at the World Cup. Stats shows that he created the most number of chances in Russia. He makes good runs from the right back position and can deliver top quality crosses too.

But he had no intention to leave his form, back in Russia. His free kick goal against Croatia was one of the best of the World Cup and having such a skill at your disposal is a blessing for any right back.

He proved once again that his World Cup goal was not a fluke when he produced similar kind of brilliance against Fulham to give spurs a 2-1 lead at a time when Fulham had the upper hand. This completely changed the complexion of the game and Fulham fell apart after that.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
