No lack of Hart-ache in England's woeful effort

Joe Hart admitted he felt battered and bruised after his heroic display in England's underwhelming 0-0 draw in Slovenia on Tuesday.

Hart enjoyed his best day of a difficult season as the England goalkeeper made a series of fine saves in the World Cup qualifier, including a dazzling block of Jasmin Kurtic's second-half header.

It was a sweet moment for Hart, who is currently exiled on loan to Italian club Torino after being axed by new Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.
