Harry Maguire's main contribution to the game might have been his goal in the first half. The defender was brilliant at the back and was not allowing the Swedish striker to have any space to work with.

John Stones was rock-solid as well at the back and was on the toes of Marcus Berg. He made sure that the aerial threat was cut out completely and with that, there was nothing they could do after that.

Kyle Walker, Ashley Young and Kevin Tripper were not involved so much in the game but they too did not make a single mistake in the game. Walker did have a sloppy moment or two early on in the first half but there was nothing significant Sweden could do.
