Euro 2020: Declan Rice compares England team-mate Luke Shaw to Brazil legend Roberto Carlos

England's flying full back Luke Shaw has been likened to Brazil legend Roberto Carlos by team-mate Declan Rice after another impressive performance in the Euro 2020 victory against Ukraine.

Shaw, who also enjoyed a fine season with Manchester United, has become the Three Lions' first-choice option in his position - and he has paid back Gareth Southgate's faith at both ends of the field.

His latest marauding runs saw him pick up two more assists, this time in the 4-0 demolition job in Rome on Saturday night, and Rice has now jokingly given him the nickname 'Roberto Shaw'.
