Marcus Rashford earned the Man of the Match award for his performance against Wales on Tuesday night.
The Manchester United forward scored a brace to seal England's spot in the World Cup knockout stages at the top of their group. This included a spectacular free-kick that nestled in the top corner of the net out of Danny Ward's reach.
Rashford had been recalled to the England squad by Gareth Southgate due to his good form at club level and he repaid his manager's faith in him with a match-winning performance.

But when asked if anyone else deserved the Man of the Match award for their performance against Wales, Rashford simply answered: "Jude Bellingham."
He continued, "I was just saying something like that. For me, he's an unbelievable player. I think in two to three years, there won't be any debate about who the best midfielder in the world is.
"He can do everything on the football pitch, I think his running ability is just ridiculous; he can outrun anyone he plays against. He gets in the box, scores goals, defends, everything."
Bellingham has been heavily linked with a move to United in recent months, however, given that every club in Europe wants him it seems unlikely that his next destination is Old Trafford.
In a recent interview on his Vibe with FIVE channel, Rio Ferdinand also played down United's chances saying: “Put yourself in Jude Bellingham’s shoes now, City are going to be in for him, Real Madrid probably be in for him, they are all going to be, Barca, Bayern will be in for him.
“There’s too much work to be done at United, it's whether he thinks ‘you know what I can be the catalyst to pull this club back to where it should be."
