Ross Barkley was one of England’s most impressive players against the Czech Republic last night, and Chelsea fans all over Twitter were raising their eyebrows over how good he looked for Gareth Southgate’s team.
With a front three of Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho ahead of him, it was easy for the former Everton man to find space, and he made the most of it.
He worked hard defensively too, after coming on as an early sub to replace the injured Eric Dier.
He will really have impressed Southgate, and he certainly impressed a lot of people watching on social media.

A good performance from Ross Barkley for England last night. Had his critics this season (even from me) which have been valid. Even now it’s difficult to know what position is best suited to him. I hope he eventually becomes successful with both Chelsea & England. 🏴🦁🦁🦁 pic.twitter.com/dfCvsptuv8

Ian Wright on Barkley's performance for England against Czech Rep.: “Some great touches today, he got on the ball and was attacking. He was running with it and making things happen, he was very good today and made a difference.” pic.twitter.com/DRg19bAriy

Love it. The ITV pundits are saying 'Barkley changed everything'.
Of course he did, he's Chelsea don't you know?— Mark Worrall (@gate17marco) March 22, 2019
