Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has backed Joe Hart to prove he is still England's best goalkeeper despite a shaky showing in the 3-2 defeat of Scotland in midweek. Pellegrini said: "I haven't spoken with him but Joe has to demonstrate why he is the best goalkeeper in England every week he plays.

"He is a very important goalkeeper and I have a lot of trust in him.

"Everyone can make an error in one match but personally I have a lot of trust in Joe Hart.

"I don't have any problems with his performance and I am sure he will again demonstrate why he is the number one in England."
