England and Ukraine played a goalless draw in Kiev as Roy Hodgson's force was forced to battle for every ball to earn a valuable point in the World Cup qualification match on Tuesday.

According to the Mirror, Roy Hodgson and his men escaped from the Olympic Stadium with the clean sheet and the point that keeps them masters of their own World Cup destiny.

Joe Hart, in the first minute, and the awful Kyle Walker might both have conceded penalties had Portuguese whistler Pedro Proenca had listened more to the demands of the home fans, the report said.

Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard did hold things together, tightening up as England teetered on the brink, helping keep the Ukrainians at arm's length for a lot of time, the report added.
