The pair briefly wrestled for the ball before Under-21 boss Stuart Pearce gave Newcastle striker Milner the nod to seal England's 2-0 win over Bulgaria and their fifth successive qualifying win.

Pearce, nicknamed Psycho during his playing days, reckons Walcott's reaction shows he is coming of age.

He said: "The more he comes out of himself the better.

"The way he played I am not surprised he wanted to score. I'm sure James Milner has heard worse anyway.

"He is the penalty-taker and Theo knows that. If anyone was offended I apologise but I look at the reaction as a positive. A year ago he would not have put himself up for a penalty.

"Now he feels a real part of the team. He got me off my seat all night and was a real thorn in their side."

Walcott, 18, admitted: "I was full of adrenaline and wanted to take it but I knew James would score."
