Worked
Phillips [midfielder] drove England’s encouraging opening period, which lasted for 20 minutes or so. There were assured touches from him, strength in the challenge and an ability to move with the ball high up. He also worked Livakovic [goalkeeper] in the eighth minute when he caught a volley cleanly on the edge of the area after a corner had been half-cleared.
