Jesse Lingard Does Keepy Uppies With Socks After MOTM Display

Harry Kane bagged himself the matchball after becoming the third England player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup, but Jesse Lingard's performance against Panama was Man of the Match worthy and he's endeared himself further with Three Lions' fans.

The Manchester United No.14 was brilliant in the 6-1 victory, winning a penalty and scoring a superb strike from distance to open his World Cup account.

'JLingz' celebrated with a shoot dance before throwing up his now trademark sign and he continued to have fun on the bench.

With England well on their way to the highest ever World Cup win, the cameras panned to Lingard amongst the subs after he had been replaced by Fabian Delph.

He provided a priceless moment when he was set next to Trent Alexander-Arnold, performing some 'keepy uppies' with a pair of socks.

As if you needed more reason to believe it's coming home? Twitter absolutely loved seeing Lingard doing his thing:

Same again against Belgium, Jesse.
