Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha made his full senior England debut in the 4-2 defeat to Sweden.

Zaha replaced Liverpool's Raheem Sterling in the 85th minute, in a game which saw 4 goals from Sweden's Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swedes went 1-0 up after 20 minutes, but England hit back with goals from Danny Welbeck and Steven Caulker, who was also making his debut for England.

Sweden re-took the lead late on through two more goals from Ibrahimovic, and then sealed the victory with a stunning overhead kick in the 90th minute.

After the build up in recent days it was a disappointing decision from England manager Roy Hodgson to bring the 20-year-old on with only 5 minutes remaining of normal time.

After the match Zaha tweeted: "Great experience for me tonight and so happy is (I) was involved .."

"Thanks for all the support and kind messages and all I got to say is keep hating to my haters".
