Ghost goal fury of Blokhin while Hodgson's happy to get rub of the green
Posted Wednesday, June 20, 2012 by Dailymail
Roy Hodgson and Steven Gerrard savoured England’s warm embrace with Lady Luck on a night of Ukrainian fury and Andy Carroll’s hairspray.
Both Hodgson and Gerrard were happy to admit they were fortunate to beat the co-hosts here and set up a quarter-final against Italy after Ukraine were denied a goal which crossed the line.
Wayne Rooney nodded England ahead, early in the second half, but John Terry’s intervention, when he hooked clear a shot from Marko Devic in the 62nd minute, was equally important.
