England defender Phil Jagielka believes that Jermain Defoe was unlucky to see his strike ruled out in the draw with Ukraine.
Having gone a goal down, a Frank Lampard penalty drew the hosts level late on in the game before Steven Gerrard was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Defoe appeared to have given the Three Lions the lead in the first half but his strike was chalked off for what was deemed a foul by the forward, and Jagielka thinks that his teammate was unfortunate.
"I don't think it would have been pulled back in any other league or any other game," said Jagielka.
"That's what we are getting used to now. If I'm Jermain and I've brushed someone away and then smacked one in the top corner I'd be absolutely devastated it's been pulled back. They got a goal soon after which was a double whammy. But the boys showed great character to keep going.
"It was definitely one point gained in the end. It's four points for us from the first two games - we would have loved six, especially after the last performance - but four points is fine. We look forward to the next game now and if we can win that then hopefully we can still finish top of the group."
England remain undefeated in their World Cup qualifying campaign.
