England captain Steven Gerrard admitted to feeling hard done-by after being sent off in his side’s lacklustre 1-1 draw against Ukraine, but insisted Roy Hodgson’s team were still on course to qualify for the World Cup.

Gerrard was shown two yellow cards by Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir at Wembley on Tuesday night, with the second coming in the closing moments, and the Liverpool midfielder will now miss England’s next qualifier against San Marino in October.
