Former England ace Joe Cole has branded Declan Rice as the best player on the field last night.

The Three Lions took on Italy in a Euro 2024 qualifier away from home on Thursday.

Despite the tough setting for the game, England walked away with all three points thanks to a 2-1 win sealed by goals from Rice and Harry Kane.

Declan Rice was the best player on the pitch by a mile," Cole stated post-game.

Terrible defending for the goal, but he's alive to it.

If it's a center-forward we're talking about instinct. He was outstanding from start to finish."
