Dominic Calvert-Lewin sends "ruthless" message to Jordan Henderson after England penalty miss

Dominic Calvert-Lewin admits he has to be 'more ruthless' after letting Jordan Henderson take a missed penalty for England in their final Euro 2020 warm-up game against Romania on Sunday. The Three Lions were leading 1-0 after captain Marcus Rashford opened the scoring from the spot but both he and second-choice taker James Ward-Prowse had been substituted when they were awarded another when Calvert-Lewin was fouled. Henderson appeared to overrule the Everton striker to take the ensuing penalty but his effort was saved by Romania goalkeeper Florin Nita. And after the game Calvert-Lewin said: "[Henderson] said that he'd not scored for England yet so he wanted the penalty. "Maybe in hindsight I should have took it but on another day he puts it in the back of the net. "It's just one of those things. Maybe if I want to go to the next level I have to be more ruthless there and take the penalty. "I think he wanted to take it to gain some confidence going into the tournament and for me I want everyone fully firing and confident. "I'm confident from the spot and I've took a penalty before but he wanted it and I give it to him."
