No One Can Stop Erling Haaland, Except For (Maybe) England's Ezri Konsa

Mistake leads to goal in 3-2 win Konsa generated six clearances in Sunday's 3-2 win against Mexico.

Impact Konsa played 90 minutes for the fifth game in a row in the World Cup. He made six clearances in this game, which was his most in the tournament so far and also made two blocks. A failed clearance did lead to the first goal as his clearance from the corner fell to Julian Quinines, who finished.

Secures four clearances Konsa generated one tackle (one won), four clearances and one interception in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Panama.

Impact Konsa delivered a stellar performance on Saturday, recording four clearances and an exceptional 99 percent pass accuracy. He is one of the few England players to have played all 90 minutes in each of the three group-stage matches, finishing the round with a 97 percent overall pass accuracy while winning 14 duels and making five clearances. His consistency and composure at the back have contributed to two clean sheets, reinforcing his importance to England's defensive structure heading into the knockout rounds.

Quiet defensive outing in draw Konsa had one tackle (one won) and one clearance in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Ghana.

Impact Konsa was barely required to work on defensive duties during a calm game, but he did rack up 116 passes as his side retained ball possession throughout the match. The clean sheet was his first in two World Cup contests so far. He'll likely remain active in upcoming rounds, looking to achieve better tackling and clearance numbers when England face tougher opposition.

Rough opener with England Konsa recorded two shots and 67 passes completed in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Croatia.

Impact Konsa received the start Wednesday and was not at his very best, as his side would concede two goals while he failed to pick up a significant stat on defense. He would complete 67 of his 71 passes, although this does not replace the rough day in defense. England does have plenty of quality center-backs, so there is a chance of rotation throughout the group stage.

Set to start in central defense Konsa has been named in England's World Cup squad and is expected to form a strong central defensive partnership with Marc Guehi throughout the competition under coach Thomas Tuche...

Impact Konsa ended an impressive season with Aston Villa, having been a consistent and commanding presence at the heart of their defense throughout a campaign that included a Europa League title, bringing the physical dominance, pace and aerial ability that complement Marc Guehi's more technical qualities perfectly. The defender had an extraordinary run of form at international level before this season, having ended on the winning side in 11 consecutive England appearances, the joint longest such run by a defender in Three Lions history. Konsa heads into the World Cup as a trusted and dependable defensive option for manager Tuchel and one of the most experienced figures in a relatively young England back line.

Consistent starter at center-back Konsa has started all but one match for Aston Villa between the Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.

Impact The England international seems to be Unai Emery's top choice at center-back ahead of Pau Torres and Tyrone Mings (ankle), with the latter duo often rotating next to Konsa. Konsa has 15 clearances, five blocked shots and two clean sheets in six Premier League appearances so far.
