Rio Ferdinand heaped plenty of praise on Jesse Lingard at half-time during England's World Cup Group G clash against Panama. Gareth Soutgate's men walked in at the interval 5-0 up after ruthless display of finishing. Manchester United attacker Lingard played a huge part in the scoreline, despite being consistently fouled for the first 20 minutes of the game. Eventually, one of the fouls paid off when he won a penalty for England. Harry Kane stepped up and comfortably converted it. Lingard then overcame his early battering in style by tucking away a brilliant goal. The 25-year-old stroked home from the edge of the box, putting the ball into the far corner. But his effort came as no surprise to Ferdinand, who, at half-time, said he's seen it all before. "This finish here was exquisite, I’ve seen this since he was 11 years old," the former Man Utd defender said on BBC1.

Arsenal fans don't come much bigger than ArsenalFanTV's very own chief presenter - and now he has to contend with rooting for a Spurs striker. Harry Kane scored twice against Tunisia, including a dramatic 90th minute winner to hand Gareth Southgate's side all three points. The 24-year-old scored once again against Panama, smashing a penalty home in thhe first half.

"Listen, for me it's my country. So when it comes to the country I get behind it. I said to the Tottenham fans that I've signed a truce with all of them until after the World Cup.
