England goalkeeper Tom Heaton had no chance of saving a point blank shot to a precious area in England training from Dele Alli and the poor goalkeeper wasn’t even involved in the drill. 

As the ball moved from side to side it was fired across the goal with Alli destined to score only for him to fire the ball just wide of the post where the unsuspecting Heaton was standing.

The England players laughed their heads off as Heaton grabbed his crutch. Heaton is unlikely to play in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers but has proved himself to be a very good goalkeeper at Premier League level with his club Burnley.

Heaton did grab some sympathy on social media but some seem a little concerned by Alli’s miss more than the clear discomfort the keeper was in.
