Joel Ndala was the hero against Iran at the Jakarta International Stadium, scoring a 90th-minute winner to spare the blushes of his side. The Manchester City prospect showed experience beyond his years when pouncing on a goalkeeping error and curling a fine strike into the top corner whilst being off-balance. Despite being so impressive last week, England started off the match in first gear and struggled to compete with the physicality of Iran. The goal sparked the Three Lions into life and they finished the first half on top, though failed to capitalise on their dominance. Following a rallying team talk from their manager, England emerged from the interval with a point to prove.
