Tyrone Mings Aston Villa
Tyrone Mings has been congratulated on his England performance at Euro 2020 by Aston Villa teammate Ezri Konsa. Mings helped Gareth Southgate’s side get off to a winning start in the tournament as they beat Croatia 1-0 at Wembley on Sunday. The Villa defender got the nod to start alongside John Stones at centre-back, in the absence of Harry Maguire, who is not yet match fit following an injury lay-off.
After the Croatia match, Tyrone Mings said : “It’s a dream come true to play in a major tournament for England and I’ve loved every second of it. It was probably the hottest game I’ve ever been in – but the team showed our grit and determination and quality. I’ve watched a few (tournaments) and it seems more straightforward watching them then it is playing. But they (Croatia) are a top team as we found out before. It was up to us to repel their threats and deal with what they threw at us, but equally we always have quality to trouble teams as well.”
