Shaw, Mourinho reflected a few years ago, was one of those players 'who cannot walk from the bed to the toilet without breaking a leg.' Yet there was huge personal vindication for Shaw in the way he drove England into the semi-final on Saturday night, just as he had been integral to them reaching Rome. Yet the ball Shaw drifted up for Kane was unerring precise. As Frank Lampard put it in the BBC studio on Saturday night, Shaw hasn't always been 'in the best of shape.' It was Shaw, from full-back, who had the most progressive passes in the final third of any England player vs Ukraine (12).
