Walcott aims for "perfect performance"

England forward Theo Walcott has said that he is hoping for a "perfect performance" in the team's final group game at Euro 2012 against co-hosts Ukraine.

Walcott, whose side need a point to progress to the next round, insists that the Three Lions cannot afford to settle for a draw against an opponent that must win to reach the knockout stage.

"[Ukraine] are the hosts, need to win, and will have all the support behind them," he told The Mirror.

"It is going to be a difficult night for us. But we can't go into games looking for draws. It will invite trouble.

"I hope it will all come together for us against Ukraine and we can produce the perfect performance."

England take on the Ukraine in Donets'k later this week.
