Harry Kane leads the list of tournament goalscorers with 6 goals to his name

#3 Jesse Lingard

Sweden v England: Quarter Final - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Jesse Lingard has been a silent killer of teams with consistent performances

When this tournament began, no one thought Jesse Lingard could be one of England's best performers but, like in the past, he has proved everyone wrong again.

Colombia wasn't the best game for him, but he fired when it mattered the most. It was a first touch cross to give Dele Alli the ideal delivery for an ideal header against Sweden.

Just like Jose Mourinho, Gareth Southgate seems to get the most out of Jesse who fires when it matters.

The knockout stages seem to be Jesse's hunting ground and he will most likely play a huge role in realizing England's dream to win the World Cup for the first time since 1966.
