Thomas Tuchel has lavished praise on England star Marc Guehi following the Three Lions' stirring 5-0 win over Serbia on Tuesday night.
The Crystal Palace defender, who recently saw a move to Liverpool break down on transfer deadline day, was among the scorers as England cruised to victory in Belgrade to maintain their 100 per cent record in World Cup qualifying.
Harry Kane, Noni Madueke, Ezri Konsa and Marcus Rashford also struck to see off Serbia, who struggled to find any momentum during the showdown.
Guehi played for England just days after he'd picked up a groin problem during his country's 2-0 victory over Andorra at Villa Park.

And Tuchel had nothing but positive things to say about the centre-back, describing him as the 'best team-mate' following the fixture.
Speaking to ITV, the former Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund manager said: "It’s the example of how the boys were in this camp, exactly like this. They put their personal interests aside.
"He was the best team-mate possible and had a fantastic performance. Very strong for Crystal Palace and showed it today on the pitch."
Tuchel wasn't the only person happy with the win.

A number of players, including Guehi, expressed their delight following the final whistle.
The Palace star stated: "We have such a good group of players and we're all working towards one goal.
"I'm just over the moon. It's a fantastic feeling of working really hard growing up so to score a goal for the country is the best feeling."
Kane, who netted the 74th goal of his England career, added: "I spoke a lot yesterday about how we wanted to play – being on the front foot and being aggressive, and I think we showed our level today.
