England held to draw

Stuart Pearce's reign as the full-time England Under-21 coach started with a 1-1 draw after Romania grabbed a fortunate equaliser in the friendly at Ashton Gate.

Pearce's new set of youngsters started brightly and were leading through Matt Derbyshire's early strike before the visitors dragged themselves back in the game.

Bogdan Stancu's free-kick crashed off the bar and went in off goalkeeper Joe Hart to level matters at Bristol City's ground, and despite ending the game with 10 men Romania clung to a draw.
