Daniel Sturridge may have scored 12 goals in his past 12 games for club and country - but he was happy to let the England team take the plaudits after their win over Denmark.
The Liverpool striker scored the game's only goal with a header from an Adam Lallana cross after 82 goalless minutes, but provided hard graft as well, shuttling out wide to give his side width.

Sturridge said: "Whichever system the manager plays me in, I will put my all into it, 100 per cent.
"It was a good goal, but more important the way that the team played. It is not about myself or my individual attributes, it is about the team, and the result we got.
"It does not matter where I play on the field, it is about making a difference, making an impact and I will just keep trying to get goals and assists from whatever position I am in."

Raheem Sterling was one of five Liverpool players in the starting XI and the 19-year-old forward was unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet when he could just not convert a cross from Ashley Cole in the first half, which Denmark defender Jakob Ankersen bundled against the post.
Sturridge is certain there is more to come from his Anfield team-mate.
"He played very well. Razza [Sterling] will keep getting better, he is young and everybody knows what he can do," Sturridge said.
"I know what he can do from playing with him at club level, he will get better and better."
