Joe Hart shoulders responsibility for England exit

Hart shoulders blame for England exit

England goalkeeper Joe Hart has shouldered responsibility for the Three Lions' 2-1 defeat to Iceland at Euro 2016.

The Manchester City stopper admitted that he should have kept out Kolbeinn Sigthorsson's goal in the 18th minute, the strike that sent the Three Lions crashing out of the competition.

"I apologise to the fans, that's a shot I should save and it's my fault we are out," Hart told reporters.

Roy Hodgson and his coaching team of Gary Neville and Ray Lewington confirmed that they are stepping down from their posts in the wake of the Iceland defeat, one of the most infamous in the national team's history.

England Under-21 coach Gareth Southgate has been named as the bookmakers' favourite to replace Hodgson in the top job.
