England's Tyrone Mings has emphasised how much he enjoyed playing alongside Kieran Trippier in defence during the Euro 2020 opening win against Croatia.
Aston Villa skipper Mings, who was starting his first game at a major tournament next to John Stones at centre back, had Atletico Madrid wing back Trippier on the left-hand side, in a surprise pick to many who saw Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell as first-choice left backs.
But both kept a clean sheet and were largely untroubled defensively during the 1-0 win on Sunday and Mings admitted that Trippier - who starred at the World Cup in Russia three years ago - helped him on the pitch with his experience.
