ENGLAND 2-1WALES: LAST-GASP STURRIDGE STRIKE EARNS WIN

Gareth Bale had put Chris Coleman's side ahead from
35 yards but two half-time substitutions earned a
deserved win for the Three Lions, with Jamie Vardy also
on target
Daniel Sturridge scored an injury-time winner as England fought
back to beat Wales in Group B.
The Three Lions made a fast start to the game and Raheem
Sterling missed a glorious chance to put his side ahead inside 10
minutes, but diverted Kyle Walker's pass into the area over the
bar from six yards.
Wales grew into the game as their opponents again went close via
a Gary Cahill header. As the game approached half-time,
however, Bale produced a moment of magic.
With Wayne Rooney giving away a free kick, the Wales star hit a
swerving, dipping set-piece from 35 yards that sneaked inside
Joe Hart's left-hand post, prompting criticism towards the
goalkeeper.
Roy Hodgson brought on Vardy and Sturridge at half-time,
replacing Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling, and the Premier
League winner took 10 minutes to level matters from close range
with just his third touch.
As the Three Lions searched for a winner, Hodgson brought on
Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford for his competitive
England debut for just over 15 minutes remaining.
England dominated possession for the majority and finally
scored the goal their play deserved as Sturridge charged into the
area from a Dele Alli pass to tuck inside Wayne Hennessey's near
post.
