Penalty miss against Spurs will be England midfielder's last spot kick.


The midfielder’s effort went wide of Paul Robinson’s upright moments after Spurs had gone back in front through Robbie Keane’s well placed header.

"That's me finished with penalties - I should have scored and I'm so sorry I missed and would like to apologise to the fans, my team-mates and the club. I blame myself for us not winning.

"I decided to go for power and kept my head down as I ran to the ball. The last time I took a penalty I went for placement and missed so that's why I went for power this time," he said.
