The former forward claims the ball went 50 centimetres over the line when Marko Devic went through on goal and John Terry cleared, before challenging a member of the media

Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin slammed the officiating during his team’s 1-0 defeat to England on Tuesday night, before confronting a journalist as tempers rose.

England took the lead through Wayne Rooney soon after half-time, thanks to some slack defending and goalkeeping, however the co-hosts thought they had equalised in the final 20 minutes, but the officials were not convinced.

New Shakhtar Donetsk signing Marko Devic darted inside the area and looped the ball over the goal line before John Terry acrobatically cleared before a definitive answer could be given, yet no goal was given.
