Four things we learned from England’s 2-0 win over Sweden

The Everton number one is standing tall on the big stage. You’d back him to produce another commanding display in the semi-finals.

England are showing real maturity

Even as clear favourites for this tie, it would have been understandable if England felt nerves. It’s been 28 years since they last reached the semi-finals of a major tournament.

But they were very assured throughout, playing with impressive maturity for a side with relatively little international experience.

Southgate will be particularly impressed with how they used the ball. The Three Lions had struggled to create chances in open play in their previous World Cup outings, but they used the ball really well here.

Harry Maguire’s growing into England’s defensive lynchpin

Harry Maguire had only made five appearances for England before the World Cup began. His displays during this tournament suggest he’s likely to be a mainstay in the starting XI for a long time to come.

As well as being dominant at the back, he’s proving to be a real handful at the other end of the pitch too.

His mere presence causes havoc amongst the opposition defence at set-pieces and he opened the scoring with a powerful header. Southgate will be particularly pleased with his accomplished use of the ball too.
