Euro 2020: Three England players behind Three Lions' excellent run in the tournament
The Three Lions have been almost flawless so far and their form looks to be going in the upward trajectory as they approach their semi-final against Denmark. With the semis as well as the final scheduled to take place at the Wembley Stadium, the Three Lions couldn’t be in a better position.
Gareth Southgate’s England side have been compact defensively and very much professional in their approach towards the game. They are yet to concede a single goal and to be fair, Jordan Pickford has hardly been tested between the sticks.
In this article, we will take a look at three of the best performers for the Three Lions in the Euros so far.
Kalvin Philips
Star midfielder of Leeds United, Kalvin Phillips, has been absolutely crucial for the Three Lions in the Euros so far. The 25-year-old has started all the five games for the Three Lions in the tournament so far alongside Declan Rice in midfield and both of them have been brilliant.
With Rice alongside him playing in the more conservative central midfield role suiting him, Phillips has had the added responsibility of coming up with more industry, work rate as well as creativity. And, the 25-year-old has excelled in his task and deserves the credit for keeping Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson out of the starting XI despite his comeback to fitness.
