Prior to the Sweden game, England coach Gareth Southgate defended Dele Alli against criticism from the media. Alli has been suffering from injuries in the lead up to the World Cup. Southgate said, “In terms of Dele, I thought his performance against Tunisia was as good as he’s had since I’ve been England manager. He is at his best when he’s making those forward runs and really threatening opponents with those forward runs from midfield. The other night, the game was a little bit different but he did a really diligent job without the ball for us.”
