Still very much England’s number one after last night’s heroics, Joe Hart spared England’s blushes in Slovenia.

The Manchester City shot stopper, who has been shipped out on loan to Serie A outfit Torino for the 2016/17 campaign, proved any doubters wrong with an array of spectacular saves to record an impressive clean sheet.

The 29-year-old, twice denied Josip Ilicic expertly when he was played in by poor backpasses from both Eric Dier and captain Jordan Henderson.

But, undoubtedly, his finest stop was his remarkable effort to turn Jasmin Kurtic’s close-range header on to the crossbar just moments after the interval. World-class.
