Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker is one of the best right-backs in the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur youngster Eric Dier has spoken highly of teammate Kyle Walker on the club’s official website.
Dier, who can play as a defender or as a defensive midfielder, has stated that Walker is like a racehorse.
The 22-year-old made the comment following England’s win against Scotland at the Wembley Stadium in London on Friday evening.
The Three Lions got the better of Scotland 3-0 in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification UEFA Group F game.
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge put England in the lead in the 24th minute, and his club teammate Adam Lallana added a second on 50 minutes.
Chelsea defender Gary Cahill wrapped up the points for Gareth Southgate’s side just past the hour mark.
Tottenham right-back Walker started the match and played for the entire 90 minutes, and so did his Spurs teammate and left-back Danny Rose.
Dier also played for the entire 90 minutes, and the youngster has praised Walker and Rose.
“I call Kyle ‘the stallion’, because he’s like a racehorse, up and down that flank,” Dier told Tottenham’s official website.
“They are unbelievable physically, no-one can match them,” added the youngster about Walker and Rose. “They offer so much both defensively and offensively.
“I’m really happy for them and being involved in all three goals, that’s great for them as well. They deserve it because they work so hard at Spurs to be at that level.
“They then show the same form in international football as well, which is great for Tottenham and England. I’m delighted for them, they were fantastic.”
Over the course of the Wembley Stadium in London on Friday evening, hosts England had 68% of the possession, took nine shots of which three were on target, and earned four corners, according to BBC Sport.
