"Without doubt England's most effective player from the first game onwards," said the UEFA Technical Observer Group. "Tactically, he showed incredible awareness to be able to find the spaces to receive passes in dangerous positions, and then the ability to make a difference inclusive of creating and scoring some of his team's most crucial goals in their winning campaign.
"He also showed excellent leadership qualities with a great work ethic and team behaviour. A big player for the big stage."
