England went into the game against the Dragons knowing a victory would be enough to see them finish top of their group. But the first half of that clash was extremely drab, with both sides failing to get going.
Not only was the first half extremely slow in terms of play from both teams, but the most eye-catching piece of play also came from Maguire’s shot after another unprecedented run.
In a video going viral on social media, the Manchester United centre back decides to take matters into his own hands as he embarked on an attack.
Once at the edge of the penalty area, he unleashed a cross which ended up going hopelessly wide on the other side.
And of course, fans jumped on that incident with hilarious banter:
“He went like Prime Messi just to end up like Lukaku,” one fan joked.
“Classic Harry Maguire ...let him gain his confidence,” another added.
