Video: Jonjo Shelvey’s open goal miss from last night is pretty bad

He made up for this howler with a goal later on but this is still as glaring a blown goal as you will see.

Last night England’s impressive Under 21 team steam-rolled Sweden 4-0 in a friendly at Walsall. Liverpool target Tom Ince nabbed two, Sunderland’s Connor Wickham scored one and Liverpool’s Jonjo Shelvey also found the net.

Lots of reasons for Stuart Pearce to be happy then. Still, it wasn’t all perfect, as this miss by Shelvey shows.

With the score just 1-0, Shelvey was presented with a gift following a fine cross by Liverpool team-mate Jordan Henderson. But Shelvey contrived to head wide from three yards with the keeper nowhere to be seen.

At least it didn’t affect the result or he may have faced the wrath of Psycho.
