Dier's goal "one of England's best"

Eric Dier's sensational headed goal last night in England's 2-1 victory over Australia in a pre-Euros friendly was lauded by manager Roy Hodgson as possibly the finest under his tenure:

"I thought it was really superb, the way he got down so quickly to plant the ball between the keeper's legs, his reading of the game - remember he'd only been on for a minute: it's certainly one of the most effective substitutions I've made in my career."

The England boss went on to lambast critics for "nitpicking" after several commenters on social media pointed out that Dier's goal was in fact an own-goal.
