World Cup 2018: Top 5 players after the first round of group stages

#4 Kieran Trippier

Kieran Trippier is the most creative player at the World Cup so far

When many of the big sides failed to win their opening games, England managed to clinch three points against Tunisia after captain Harry Kane scored the winner in the 91st minute of the game.

While all the praise went to Kane for his match-winning brace, there were two players from the Three Lions line-up that did a great job for their team. It was Jordan Henderson and Kieran Trippier.

Henderson, who is often criticised by his own fans, proved many wrong by putting in a proper midfielder's shift. Trippier, on the other hand, bossed it for England.

The 27-year-old created a total of six chances in the game, making him the most creative player in the World Cup so far. It was the Tottenham right-back's corner that resulted in Kane's match winner as well.

Trippier made three successful dribbles in the game. Add to that one successful tackle, shot and clearance each. Without any doubt, the former Burnley player was one of the best performances for England against Tunisia.

Skipper Kane deserves credit as well. The prolific striker's eye for goals was rewarded with two goals that won the match for his team. The 24-year-old is up there with Trippier as one of the best players of the first round.
