England spend extra night in Turin following Italy draw

The England national team was stranded in Turin for an extra night after their flight home following a 1-1 draw with Italy on Tuesday night was hit by a technical fault.

England manager Roy Hodgson confirmed the news: "We only know it's a technical issue. It's put the flight tonight out of the question, so we hope to leave tomorrow morning relatively early.

"But at the moment we have a midday slot ¬it's the only one we could get. It's a shame because we like to get back straight away."

Andros Townsend produced a stunning equalizer on 79 minutes to cancel out Graziano Pelle's 29th-minute opener at the Juventus Stadium.
