Andros Townsend secured England an unlikely draw in Italy before hitting back at his critics, and primarily the former Arsenal winger Paul Merson, for questioning his original selection in the national squad.


The Tottenham Hotspur forward, who was described as a “game-changer” by Roy Hodgson after his cameo here, was summoned from the bench in the second half and thumped in his side’s equaliser from distance 11 minutes from time. The 23-year-old had scored on his England debut against Montenegro in October 2013 to help propel England to the World Cup, only to be ruled out of the tournament through injury.
