friendly, with Jamie Vardy forcing home a late winning goal.
Jamie Vardy spared Harry Kane's embarrassment as his late winner ensured England started its preparations for Euro 2016 with a 2-1 win over Turkey at the Etihad Stadium.
Tottenham striker Kane had put England into an early lead in Manchester, only for Hakan Calhanoglu to restore parity in the 13th minute.
Kane, top scorer in the Premier League this season, then missed a second-half penalty as it appeared Turkey would frustrate England in its first warm-up fixture for the European Championship in France.
But Vardy — whose goals helped Leicester City to an unlikely Premier League title this season — fired in a late winner from a goalmouth scramble to boost his chances of starting England's opener against Russia in Marseille on June 11.
