England not about to turn down luck

An officiating mistake leads to a 1-0 victory over Ukraine, handing team a matchup with Italy in the quarterfinals

Steven Gerrard said England had been due some luck after a goalmouth refereeing blunder that helped his team to a 1-0 win over Ukraine on Tuesday.

Wayne Rooney had nodded England into the lead with a second-half header, but Ukraine was desperately unlucky not to have equalized after Marko Devic's 62nd minute effort was wrongly judged not to have crossed the line.
