Luke Shaw now has three assists at Euro 2020 after providing two in the win over Ukraine.
One came from a set piece and the other from open play, while Shaw kept a clean sheet at the other end in a 4-0 win.
The Manchester United left-back set up Red Devils teammate Harry Maguire for his goal, which he crashed in with a powerful header.
Maguire responded to Shaw’s celebratory Instagram post, thanking him for the perfect cross.
There was also a message from England teammate Declan Rice, while even better to see was the show of support from Manchester United left-back competitor Alex Telles.
Telles could be forgiven for feeling a little sorry for himself at having to compete with Shaw right now, who has developed into one of the world’s top left-backs. Competition from the Brazilian has no doubt been one of the factors in that improvement.
Shaw was outstanding against Ukraine and it was amusing to see him do it in Rome, the new home of Jose Mourinho. What a statement this was from him to send.
Marcus Rashford came on at the end too, so all four United players were involved, and yes we are including Jadon Sancho in with that.
Sancho played all 90 minutes and managed to impress Rio Ferdinand who praised him with comments to the BBC after the game.
England are now into the semi-finals of Euro 2020 to face Denmark on Wednesday.
