How Ollie Watkins sent England into the Euro 2024 final

Dumfries and involvement have by no means been strangers. The total-backs of fifty years in the past may recognise him in the identical method that an historic Egyptian pill carver may recognise an iPad.

Overlapper doesn’t fairly appear to explain what he does; ultralapper may be a greater flip.

The 28-year-old is journey made human, half-resembling the kid hero of a Pixar movie, half-resembling a Pink Bull-sponsored excessive skier, tossing themselves down a mountain.

However after quarter-hour, Dumfries proceeded to toss himself into Kane. An England equaliser, and a Dumfries yellow card. Even by the Netherlands wing-back’s dynamic requirements, his first half in opposition to England was busier than most.

As for the remainder, this was the cliche of ‘a sport that had all the things’ inside one participant, inside half-hour.
