Manchester United striker Federico Macheda scored a late penalty as England
|
|
Under-21s were defeated in their friendly clash with Italy in Empoli.
|
|
|
|
Shortly after substitute Scott Sinclair had squandered a great chance for the
|
|
visitors, Ben Mee brought down Niccolo Giannetti to concede a spot-kick with
|
|
two minutes remaining.
|
|
|
|
Macheda, who is currently on loan at Sampdoria, made no mistake to deal
|
|
England a blow in their preparations for this summer's European Under-21
|
|
Championship in Denmark.
|
|
|
|
Manager Stuart Pearce, who saw his squad severely weakened by withdrawals,
|
|
handed a debut to Middlesbrough defender Joe Bennett while 17-year-old Chelsea
|
|
midfielder Josh McEachran made his first start.
|
|
|
|
Everton striker James Vaughan, meanwhile, made his first appearance for nearly
|
|
18 months after impressing on loan for Crystal Palace.

07 Feb 2011
|
|
|
|
Italy, who failed to qualify for the European Championships, fielded a team
|
|
made up largely of teenagers.
|
|
|
|
A quiet start to the match took a worrying turn for England and particularly
|
|
Everton after little over 10 minutes when Jack Rodwell appeared to suffer a
|
|
groin problem and was replaced by Jack Cork.
|
|
|
|
The only clear-cut chance of the first half fell to Ciro Ferrara's Italy as
|
|
Gianvito Misuraca found space behind the England defence but Frank Fielding
|
|
got down well to push his shot around the post.
|
|
|
|
The visitors managed only brief glimpses of goal, with Vaughan, Marc
|
|
Albrighton and Henri Lansbury all shooting off target.
|
|
|
|
The start of the second half saw both Albrighton and Vaughan misplace passes
|
|
with England in promising positions while Macheda shot into the side-netting.
|
|
|
|
With an hour gone, Pearce, who celebrated his fourth anniversary as manager on
|
|
Sunday, made a triple substitution, giving debuts to Jonny Howson, Jay
|
|
Rodriguez and Alex Chamberlain in place of Vaughan, Lansbury and Nathan
|
|
Delfouneso.
|
|
|
|
Highly-rated Southampton youngster Chamberlain made an immediate impact with a
|
|
run and fizzing cross along the six-yard line but none of his team-mates could
|
|
get on the end of it.
|
|
|
|
Sinclair came on for Albrighton with quarter of an hour remaining, and the
|
|
Swansea winger should have put England ahead with nine minutes left.
|
|
|
|
An excellent through-ball from McEachran found the former Chelsea youngster in
|
|
acres of space but he shot straight at goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio, who then
|
|
produced another good save from the same player at his near post.
|
|
|
|
Having stepped up the pace, though, England conceded the only goal of the game
|
|
in the 88th minute.
|
|
|
|
Substitute Giannetti ran in behind Manchester City defender Mee, who clearly
|
|
brought down the striker and was promptly shown a red card, with Macheda
|
|
easily beating Fielding from the penalty spot.
