Leeds United defender Charlie Cresswell was playing for the England U21’s in their European Qualifying match and he put in a top performance in their 9-1 victory.
It was a very dominant performance from the young Three Lions side and it puts them top of their qualifying group with two wins out of two.
Leeds defender Charlie Cresswell started the match and he should be very proud of the performance he put in on the night.
This performance would have no doubt given manager Daniel Farke something to think about when selecting the Leeds defence after the international break.
Charlie Cresswell shows he has a bright future with top performance
The England U21 side did concede a goal on the night and it was actually the first goal scored in the match.
They managed to turn things around and the ‘excellent‘ Cresswell was great in defence as he produced some top stats.
The 21-year-old managed one clearance, two interceptions, one tackle, and 98 touches in the England U21 match, per SofaScore.
He also led the way with eight aerial duels won and what made this even more impressive was the fact that he won all of his attempted aerial duels.
The fact that the centre-back is a key starter for the England U21’s and is putting in top performances shows that he has a very bright future.
Farke has played Cresswell four times in the Championship this season but has only started him once. There is no need to rush Cresswell into the starting lineup at Leeds but there is no doubt that he could become a key player in the near future.
