The Netherlands captain put in a good shift in defence, winning five duels and making seven clearances and two blocks.

Ryan Gravenberch was dominant in midfield, winning six duels and making one interception. He also played two key passes and completed two dribbles.

Cody Gakpo won four duels and played two key passes but both his shots were off the mark in a decent display. On the world stage, there are very few that perform more consistently than him. Give the ball to the winger and he will be sure to make things happen, even when nothing seems forthcoming.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold starred for England and teed up Harry Kane to kick-start a 2-0 success at home to Finland.

The Liverpool star had a great game for his country as he bagged an assist. Alexander-Arnold created five chances in the game and completed 82 passes out of 94.
