The moment Harry Maguire spins TRICKY WINGER as the defender dribbles past two American defenders in the first half of England’s World Cup game before landing a low cross as the Three Lions struggle in Qatar
England fans were shocked when Harry Maguire made a mad run on the left wing during England’s match against the USA on Friday.
There were doubts about the defender’s place in the team starting the tournament, but he has been backed by manager Gareth Southgate and has started both of the Three Lions’ matches so far.
In the 11th minute of Friday’s game, the 29-year-old stunned fans by taking on two American players and getting a cross into the area, which was eventually released.

England struggled to break down their opponents throughout and Maguire’s run created one of the side’s best chances of the match.
He also won several headers in his own penalty area as the Three Lions succumbed to heavy pressure from the Americans.
Gregg Berhalter’s side defended well throughout, and despite England having more possession, they found it difficult to create chances.
One fan on Twitter joked about Maguire’s run: “If Maguire had actually scored a goal on that run, they should have kicked the US out of the tournament on principle.”
Another added: “If Harry Maguire had finished that run we would have had to fold the whole country.”
A third said: ‘Maguire turned into Neymar for a moment, that was a crazy run.’
Maguire generally put in a solid performance throughout the game and defended well
