Wales rue Earnshaw miss

FABIO CAPELLO is no longer “Shrek”. Unfortunately, Robert Earnshaw was the donkey after blowing a glorious chance to deny England victory at Wembley.

Wales were exceeding expectations but still trailing to Ashley Young’s first-half goal when Earnshaw was presented with the type of chance a Sunday morning park player would expect to put away 15 minutes from time.

Six yards out, central position, keeper no longer at home. All the Cardiff City man had to do was tap it in. Inexplicably, he failed, side-footing over the bar to the shattering disbelief of a Wales team who deserved more as England moved to within a point of reaching Euro 2012.
