Former England boss Glenn Hoddle claims that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-c10193 Welbeck’s superbly taken back-heel against Sweden was the best goal he saw during the European Championships.
Roy Hodgson’s men endured a tough time in Poland and Ukraine, as they were criticized from all corners of the media because of their defensive approach, while the team failed to live up to their potential once again.
Having started things brightly with a draw against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, the Three Lions secured a win over Sweden before grabbing another victory over the Ukrainians.
However http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 and Scott Parker in the centre of the pitch and scored a daring penalty to eliminate the English.
Though their defensive football was not something that appealed to the fans, England showcased their winning spirit against a tough Sweden side that was laced with talent.
Led by Zlatan Ibrahimović, the Yellow-Blues were always going to be hard to contain but Hodgson’s troops were up to the task, racking up three goals to seal a memorable encounter.
Danny Welbeck’s late winner was the undoubted top of lot, as the Manchester United man spun away from his marker and hit a perfect back-heel, all of this in one motion while swerving around.
Such an impressive take was always going to catch the eye and Glenn Hoddle has seemingly been captivated by the goal, claiming that it was the best he had seen this summer.
"Despite the high-quality strikes on show in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015,” he said.
"The way he connected with Theo Walcott's cross with his back to goal was sublime. If a South American had guided the ball into the net through his legs like that, we'd be purring about it. And it was an important goal as well, the winner in an exciting
3-2 victory,” the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 manager was quoted as saying.
While the team bowed out of the continental tournament without really making an impact, Roy Hodgson will look to make favourable impression when the World Cup qualifiers resume, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 likely to be given the nod up-front.
