Wayne Rooney hails Carrick

Wayne Rooney hailed Manchester United team-mate Michael Carrick after England's 1-1 draw with Italy in Turin.

Carrick came off the bench to replace Chris Smalling just before the interval and steadied the ship after a shaky start for Roy Hodgson's side, earning praise from his captain.

"The best player on the pitch by a mile was Michael Carrick," Rooney said.

"He came on and dictated the game for us. You saw how much control we had after that.

"He was the big difference between the two teams in the second half."
