Kieran Trippier moment TV cameras missed in England loss which shows true class of Newcastle star

Kieran Trippier may have watched on from the bench during England's 4-0 defeat against Hungary but the Newcastle United full-back still made an important contribution just seconds after the final whistle.

It would have been easy for England players, and especially Trippier as an unused substitute, to head straight back down the tunnel after the alarming collapse at Molineux. But despite being roundly booed as the final whistle signalled the end of the ugly UEFA Nations League encounter, Trippier quickly snapped into leadership mode.

As some England players tried to depart the scene of the horrific defeat, including Conor Gallagher and Harry Maguire, Trippier ushered them back on to the field and reminded them of the importance of applauding the majority of the 28,839 crowd. The moment also showed Trippier's influence behind the scenes within the England camp and why he is likely to be one of the first names in the squad for the World Cup finals later this year.
