'Lingard is unbelievable!' - Ferdinand on Man Utd star's unforgettable England strike

The young winger was one of the stand-out Three Lions performers on Sunday, with a curling long-range goal impressing the former England defender

Former England defender Rio Ferdinand has paid tribute to Jesse Lingard after seeing the Manchester United star put Panama to the sword with an incredible strike.

Lingard scored England's third of a 6-1 rout with a fantastic long-range curling effort that gave goalkeeper Jaime Penedo no chance in the Canalero net.

And, while Harry Kane's hat-trick dominated the headlines after the final whistle, Ferdinand focused on the United winger's talents.

"The whole of England's play here is what you want to see from us, patience and confidence and everyone showing for the ball," Ferdinand told the BBC after the game.
