Few players stood out during Croatia’s 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic but Joơko Gvardiol was one of the few who didn’t put a foot wrong all game.

More of a natural at the heart of the defence, the 19-year-old defender was strong and sturdy at left-back.

It was an impressive display from a young man who struggled to get to grips with England and Phil Foden just a few days earlier.

Up at Hampden Park little came down his side, despite the attempts of the always adventurous West Ham right-back VladimĂ­r Coufal.

And Gvardiol gave Coufal plenty to think about going in the  other direction too.

The Leipzig man spent last season on loan with Dinamo Zagreb but looks more than ready for a move to the Bundesliga on this showing.
