Many have doubted Roy Hodgson and his choice to start Harry Kane over Jamie Vardy in their opening match against Russia. However, the 68-year-old manager made a strong statement bringing on Vardy in the 46th minute and he succeeded to impress.
The Premier League striker netted the goal against Group B rivals Wales with only his third touch of the game. After watching the thrilling 1-1 draw with Russia from the bench, Hodgson brought Vardy into the game and the England international instantly scored, proving he deserves a spot in the starting line-up.
His goal seemed controversial at first with many claiming it was offside and Twitter quickly reacted.
Poor call. Vardy was miles offside.

#Vardy was offside. Williams has to intentionally play the ball back to goal. Header was a 'mis-kick' (deflection). pic.twitter.com/TVL3RM1sAL

Despite many calling the goal offside, Ashley Williams got the last touch of the ball making Vardy's equalizer valid.
