U21 qualifying game: England 2-2 Germany
A blunder from Liverpool keeper Scott Carson cost England's Under-21s a win against Germany as his poor clearance led to a late equaliser and unlikely 2-2 draw.
After an even first period the visitors took the lead through Stefan Kiessling only for quick-fire goals from Darren Bent and Dean Ashton to give Peter Taylor's side the lead.
The home side seemed certain to collect the three points before Carson's low clearance was deflected to Roberto Hilbert who superbly side-footed the ball into the empty net.
The result was harsh on England who deserved the points based on their second half play. The draw keeps the sides level at the top of Group Six on 11 points apiece.
England attempted to pile the pressure on Germany early on with Bent closing down keeper Michael Rensing, while the visitors looked a threat on the break at Hull's KC Stadium.
With The Young Lions keen to stop break before they developed Liam Ridgewell was booked for a robust challenge on Kiessling.
Ashton tested Rensing from distance after collecting James Milner's deft touch, however the Bayern Munich ace was well positioned and made a comfortable save.
Just moments later Carson was at full stretch to push Christian Pander's booming free-kick just wide to keep the score goalless.
The chances continued to fall Ashton way, this time Lukas Sinkiewicz slipped in the middle allowing the Norwich man a free shot from Kieran Richardson's cross but he failed to keep it on target.
Germany almost took the lead just before the break when Mike Hanke volleyed a first time effort at Carson with Sahr Senesie's rebound clipping the bar and going over.
Dieter Eilts' came out all guns blazing after the break and took the lead with a wonderfully crafted goal. Kiessling was the benefactor with a well-taken finish from just inside the area.
England's responded in fine style and were level just 69 seconds later when Bent connected with Glen Johnson's right wing cross to head back across Rensing into the net.
Just two minutes later the home side were in front when Ashton collect the ball at the far post to skip past a defender before lashing an unstoppable shot past the Bayern custodian.
The home side were desperately unlucky not to added to their advantage after 75 minutes, but Rensing made a superb double save to deny Richardson and then Bent with the rebound.
Just when it looked like England would see out the game Carson made a hash of his clearnace allowing Germany to pinch an unlikely 2-2 draw.

good thing this was just a friendly, otherwise id be pissed. with our best player injured, and the other best one coming on in the second half because of an injury, this game was ******* excellent for us, atleast the second half. we really shouldve scored on one of those chances. but this is football
