Kieran Trippier has revealed the secret behind England’s dramatic penalty shootout success over Colombia in the 2018 World Cup Round of 16 – “practice and practice and practice”.
Jordan Pickford helped England end their penalty shootout hoodoo and reach the World Cup quarter-finals at the expense of Colombia in Moscow.
Things looked set to go pear-shaped when Jordan Henderson’s penalty was saved, only for Mateus Uribe’s spot-kick to rattle the bar and goalkeeper Pickford to deny Carlos Bacca.
But Trippier scored and his Tottenham team-mate Eric Dier also kept his composure in the Spartak Stadium cauldron, propelling the Three Lions to a famous 4-3 shootout win after it ended 1-1 after 90 minutes and extra time.
