Shearer takes aim at Crystal Palace boss Hodgson after England win

England legend Alan Shearer took aim at Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson after victory over Tunisia last night.

Shearer referred to Euro 2016, where Hodgson picked Harry Kane, his main striker, as his designated corner taker.

"Tunisia not marking again, this time it's John Stones with a terrific header," Shearer said.

“The keeper makes a superb save.

“But Harry Kane, do you know what happens when you've got your goalscorer in the box instead of taking corners two years ago? That happens.

“So they've worked at that, that's from the training ground.

"That's putting the ball on the penalty spot and saying 'go on lads, go and do your stuff, get on the end of it'.

“That was the two corners and we could have had two goals."
