Trent Alexander-Arnold played a big role in England’s opening goal against Ireland.
Despite being booed by the Irish fans throughout the opening part of the game, the Arsenal midfielder scored with a brilliant finish to give the Three Lions the lead.
And while Rice may have grabbed the headlines for his brilliant finish, it was Alexander-Arnold’s stunning defence-splitting pass that initiated the move.
The Liverpool star found Anthony Gordon with a pinpoint ball, sending the Newcastle winger through on goal.
Although Gordon’s shot was saved, he managed to lay it back for Harry Kane, whose effort was blocked, allowing Rice to finish the chance.
