HOW THEY RATED
Maintained concentration well to ensure he was not caught out by a couple of deflected efforts and little chance with the goals. 7/10
Glen Johnson
Some vital tackles but part of a defence that went AWOL at times, especially in the early stages of the second half. 7
John Terry

Hide AdMental toughness has to be admired. Like Johnson, good tackles. Organisational problems though. 7
Joleon Lescott
Maybe the Manchester City defender’s partnership with Terry is not quite as seamless as we thought. 6
Ashley Cole
Superb through-ball for Ashley Young might have brought England a second goal. 7
Sticks to his strengths, which is no bad thing. But conceded free-kick for Sweden’s second and was replaced soon after. 6
Scott Parker
Early shot from Welbeck’s lay-off. Busy night thereafter. 6
Steven Gerrard
Second assist of the tournament, from virtually the same place as his first, to set up Carroll’s opener. Also created Walcott’s. 7
Ashley Young
Not his greatest night. Found it tough to impose himself on the game and poor distribution did not help. 6
Brute of a header to give England the lead and justified his selection. However, he did give away the free-kick that allowed Sweden to level. 7
Brilliant winner to cap a fine performance, with an intricate back-heel from five yards. Given Hodgson a selection problem. 8
SUBSTITUTES
Theo Walcott

Alex Oxlade-chamberlain
Not enough time to make any impact, coming on with just a minute or so to go.
