The England international specifically mentioned working on his shooting, suggesting that it was a focus in training.
"I've been working on my shooting a bit more,” said the former Borussia Dortmund attacker. “The staff and the players have been telling me otherwise.
"Going 2-0 down in the first half was not ideal but I knew we'd come back into the game when we got that first goal. Going in at halftime, the gaffer was telling us we were in the game. I have so much belief in the players so I knew we'd come out firing.

"They're very aggressive and we knew we'd catch them if we broke the lines and beat the press. The gaffer told us to stay wide and create the one-on-ones.”
