Mido slams ‘stupid’ decision to let Henderson take England penalty vs Romania

The former Egypt international is unhappy with the choice of the Liverpool star to take the Three Lions’ penalty against the Tricolours

Ten minutes later, Gareth Southgate’s men were handed a chance to double their advantage after referee Tiago Martins pointed to the spot again following Vlad Chiriches' foul on Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the box.
