🇪🇺 The Best XI from Day Three | OneFootball

Three games, 10 goals and plenty of entertainment. Here is our best XI from the action across day three of Euro 2020.

GK: Stole Dimitrievski (North Macedonia)

His side may have lost 3-1 but you couldn’t point the finger for that at the North Macedonian goalkeeper, who pulled off arguably the save of the tournament so far when keeping out a Michael Gregoritsch header.

RB: Stefan Lainer (Austria)

He gets in on the strength of the outrageous cushioned volley technique he used to put his country ahead and send them on their way to a first tournament win in 31 years.

CB: Tyrone Mings (England)

He’s had his critics of late but in what he proclaimed afterwards was ‘the biggest game of his career’, the centre-back excelled and was comfortable throughout in attaining his clean sheet.

CB: David Alaba (Austria)

When his team needed their talisman the most in the second half, he came up big with a powerhouse performance and his assist for the crucial second was perfection.

LB: Patrick van Aanholt (Netherlands)

A constant, overlapping presence on the left flank, he gave the Ukrainians problems before departing. But it was his last gasp intervention in the first half to put Andriy Yarmolenko off which ultimately proved most important.

RM: Andriy Yarmolenko (Ukraine)

There was a little sense of irony that the West Ham man scored the goal of the tournament so far in Amsterdam against the Dutch. That strike was textbook Arjen Robben, who would have been proud of an effort that good himself.

CM: Kalvin Phillips (England)

He was a surprise starter but more than justified his inclusion and was England’s star man on the day, providing the assist for the only goal of the game with a brilliant run and pass.

CM: Georginio Wijnaldum (Netherlands)

The Dutch captain will have excited the PSG faithful with this performance as their new midfielder showed the kind of creative, intelligent and exhausting display they can expect from him. His goal was the least he deserved.

LM: Raheem Sterling (England)

Two days after being honoured with an MBE, the Man City forward, who grew up in the neighbourhood of Wembley, made it a perfect weekend with the winner for his country.

ST: Goran Pandev (North Macedonia)

After getting his country’s first goal at a major finals, we wouldn’t leave him out could we? It may have came in scruffy circumstances but Pandev’s strike, which made him the second oldest scorer in Euros history, will long be remembered as one of the tournament’s great moments.

ST: Wout Weghorst (Netherlands)

What a workload the striker got through – and not just in attack. He was more than happy to track and do defensive duties too with a tireless outing that was capped off with his first goal of the tournament from a close range effort.
