Stats Highlight Spurs Star Has Been England's Best Player

England failed to top their group after a 0-0 draw against Slovakia in their last game and will now face Iceland in the second round of the Euro 2016 next Monday.
The Three Lions have to step up big time to reach the last eight and it will be intriguing to see how many changes Roy Hodgson will make this time around.
The likes of Joe Hart, Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling and Eric Dier are the only English stars to have played every minute at the Euro 2016.
Tottenham star Eric Dier is now a pivotal member of the squad and it will be fair to say that he is irreplaceable. Since the retirement of injury prone Owen Hargreaves, England have missed a focused strong defensive midfielder and Dier has solved that dilemma.
Praising Dier’s performances, Spurs team-mate Christian Eriksen has recently claimed (THFC):

“He does a lot of the dirty work and makes it easier for us forwards to be able to do what we want to do,”
“He does his job really well and I think with his support in the team we have a bit more of a balance when we go forward – he’s always there to protect us as the extra man in midfield and I think he’s impressed everyone, even outside the club as well.”

Following three impressive performances, and winning rave reviews from all corners, Fantasy Football site Oulala have taken a look at Eric Dier against the other 18 players to have featured for England at the Euros.
The stats suggest that Dier has been England’s best player at the Euros. In the seven key stats highlighted, Dier heads three, while also featuring in the top three for the other four underlining his overall importance to the Three Lions.
