Roy Hodgson "pleased" with England performance

Roy Hodgson says that he is "pleased" with the "energy" the England players showed during their 1-0 home win against Denmark.

England coach Roy Hodgson has said that he is "pleased" with his side's performance against Denmark on Wednesday.

Daniel Sturridge's goal in the 81st minute proved to be the difference between the two sides in the friendly international at Wembley.

"I'm pleased we showed as much energy as we were looking for," BBC Sport quotes the 66-year-old as saying. "I'm pleased that players who don't usually play for England grabbed that opportunity with both hands.

"I'm even more pleased we won it because 0-0 would have been disappointing with that level of dominance. Looking at performances, you would have to be a harsh critic to say anybody played poorly tonight. I've been very happy with the attitude and the desire to get on that plane and grab a shirt.

"It's going to mean headaches for me but it's good news for England. Raheem Sterling, Daniel Sturridge, Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, even Jack Wilshere, all of those came out of the game with credit."

This was the final match before Hodgson names his provisional squad for the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil in the summer.
