Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney hailed England teammate Fabian Delph after victory in Switzerland.
Delph was booked early on and looked in danger of a red card at one stage, but grew in composure and presence as the game progressed.
"He was brilliant,' Rooney said of the Aston Villa midfielder. 'His energy, he took the ball. Early on he had to be a bit careful.
"The referee said to me at half-time to have a word with him, but I think he knew anyway.
"I spoke to him and told him just to be careful because I think one more and he would have probably been off.
"But he played really well, took the ball, played with confidence and showed what a top player he is."
