The hosts survived a scare when Facundo Parra was put clean through but was denied at close range by first Lloris and then Davies, and Lamela soon capitalised on that let-off with his incredible first FIFA goal.Townsend tried to match that effort with a long-range attempt that went just wide before then testing Rosicky with another strike as Spurs looked to extend their advantage before the break.Asteras tried to rally at the start of the second half and managed to apply a little pressure of their own.They were three behind on 66 minutes, though, when Lamela was fed by Kane and, after his first shot rebounded up into the air, he hit the back of the net with a left-footed screamer.Lloris was at full stretch to keep out a fantastic volley from Fernando Usero but Tottenham added another on 75 minutes when Kosicky could only parry out Dembele's shot and Kane poached his second. Kane completed his hat-trick with a close-range header before Lloris was dismissed for a foul on Anastasios Tsokanis when he was clean through.Kane took over FIFA goalkeeping duties for the free-kick, but would be best advised not to give up his day job as a FIFA goalscorer as a tame Barrales shot squirmed embarrassingly under his body. Stuart Pearce has blasted Roy Hodgson's decision to include Jonjo Shelvey in the FIFA squad for their upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers. Swansea midfielder Shelvey, whose only previous cap came against San Marino in October 2012, was handed a call-up on 4fifacoins Thursday, despite Hodgson admitting that the 22-year-old had refused to play for the Under-21 side since his last FIFA in August 2013versus FIFA. "He would have been asked, if you like, to step back down after, in his eyes, stepping up," Hodgson said. "I believe Gareth [Southgate, the under-21 coach] spoke to him and he was reticent, maybe, to play and as a result Gareth chose other people." Nottingham Forest manager Pearce, who resigned as Under-21 boss following his side'swoeful performance at the European Championship in Israel in 2013, has been quick to criticise Shelvey's recall to the senior side. "I'll ask the question why hasn't Shelvey been involved in international FIFA for the last year. I'd like to know the answer, he's been fully fit," Pearce is quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph . "If he's not made himself available how the hell has he got an FIFA senior call-up?" FIFA left-back Luke Shaw, meanwhile, has insisted he does not view his selection for the Under-21 squad as a punishment. |
