England goalkeeper Joe Hart hails the impact made by Ross Barkley off the bench during Tuesday night's international friendly with Italy.

England goalkeeper Joe Hart believes that more players need to play like Ross Barkley for the national team.

The Everton youngster was introduced 10 minutes into the second half of England's international friendly against Italy on Tuesday night and helped the Three Lions to turn the game around as they rescued a 1-1 draw in Turin.

Hart was impressed with what he saw from the midfielder and believes that his 'fearless' style of play needs to be encouraged.

"Ross looked really dangerous tonight. They looked worried about him when he came on," Hart told reporters.

"The platform was created for him by a very strong back-four performance and Michael Carrick shielding us. Ross played with no fear and we need to encourage that in England. We need to back people like Ross Barkley.

"Obviously he has had difficult times of late, not playing to the standard we necessarily want from him, but he is a young guy - a real young guy - with so much talent and that's something we should really encourage."

Hart won his 50th cap for England in Turin, becoming the youngest Three Lions goalkeeper to reach the half-century.
