So, England drew 1-1 with Italy last night and it was a bit of a snorefest until Andros Townsend popped up to with an excellent finish to light up the occasion. And grab England a point.
Obviously he didn't grab England a point, sure it was a friendly. You try tell Roy Hodgson that.
As tends to happen, the retribution for the forgivable slip-up was swift.
Hodgson "Fair play to Townsend, he got us the point"
Er...yes....a point Roy, of course.....— Matt Parkinson (@Matparkinson) March 31, 2015
Roy Hodgson just said about Andros Townsend "it was his goal that got us the point".
I had to rewind just to check.
