Andy Carroll rises above two Swedish defenders to head England in front

Andy Carroll rises between Mellberg and Granqvist to head England in front.

Andy Carroll’s towering header is shown here – the first goal in England’s roller coaster ride of a match against Sweden in their second group game of Euro 2012. After going 1-0 up in the first half, England lost concentration in the second period and Sweden capitalised with two goals of their own.

Roy Hodgson then brought on Theo Walcott to exploit the area of the right wing James Milner was unable to. The Arsenal man made an immediate impact with an equalising goal, followed by a burst into the area, squaring the ball to set up Welbeck for a cleverly taken winning goal.
