Lampard rescues 10-man England

The Ukrainians took a shock lead when the inspirational Yevgen Konoplianka curled a stunning 25-yard effort over Joe Hart and into the top corner on 38 minutes but Lampard’s 87th-minute penalty spared England’s blushes. Steven Gerrard was red-carded two minutes from the end of a poor display for a second yellow card offence but manager Roy Hodgson was less than impressed with the display of the Turkish official.

Incidentally it was the first time in his England career that the Liverpool star has been sent off.
