Euro2016: Iceland have to hit England at set pieces - Cardiff midfielder Gunnarsson

Iceland star Aron Gunnarsson has suggested that the tiny island nation will be looking to cause damage to England from set pieces during their Euro2016 Round of 16 clash on Monday.

The Cardiff City midfielder has already caused a lot of troubles for opponents with his long throw-ins during the tournament and plans to do more of the same in Nice against the Three Lions.

"It has not been so common recently but if anybody has got it you should obviously still try to use it," said Gunnarsson.

"From every set-piece, throw a big ball over - simple as! "We have to use every strength we have to our advantage and hopefully that will work to our advantage against England.

"You just have to look at our record in the qualifiers, we score a lot of goals from set pieces. We don't really practise them that much but we have Gylfi Sigurdsson, who can pinpoint a ball wherever you want it to be."
