Welbeck snatches point for England

DANNY WELBECK scored a dramatic late equaliser to spare England a controversial but deserved defeat in their European U21 Championship opener against Spain.

Completely outplayed almost from the first whistle, Stuart Pearce’s Young Lions fell behind to Ander Herrera’s 14th-minute goal, which he netted with his hand from point-blank range.

But Welbeck popped up two minutes from time — looking narrowly offside — to slot home and snatch a priceless point in the Group B clash in Herning.
