DOHA (Reuters) - Australia's defensive rock Harry Souttar admits he has enjoyed watching the video of his earth-shaking tackle late on his side's World Cup victory over Tunisia after it went viral on social media.

Leading 1-0, Australia were coming under siege from a desperate Tunisia side roared on by thousands of their fans when Yassine Khenissi surged towards their penalty area.

"What's pleasing about that is the wide camera angle, where you see four or five of the lads getting back – there were five or six of us in the box, ready for defence. His performance was described by his team mate Jackson Irvine as one of the best ever by an Australian and Souttar has been widely-praised by pundits with many predicting he will be a target for a Premier League club in January.
