Republic of Ireland coach Martin O'Neill hailed the performance of Jordan Henderson for England's World Cup win over Tunisia.
The Liverpool captain impressed for the 2-1 triumph.
O'Neill said: "I thought he was really, really brilliant.
"I have a lot of time for him as well because in his early days at Liverpool he had a real struggle to win the fans over. He was playing wide right, then they moved him infield.
"It's taken him a bit of time but I feel as if his experiences over the past couple of years for Liverpool — particularly playing Champions League football — have given him this confidence now."
