5. Which Premier League player is this playing for his country?


sweet potata! 5 - 4 dino1980

A minor shock in the 2nd round as sweet potata! from League Two scored maximum points to knock out dino1980 of League One. dino1980 will need to console himself with the fact that a more favourable draw would have seen his 4 points easily enough to take him through to the quarter-finals.
