Berlin, Nov. 20 : England football skipper John Terry pulled off a `Great Escape’ to help his team beat Germany here last night.

After Matthew Upson’s opener, Terry gifted the Germans a soft equaliser when his mix-up left cursed keeper Scott Carson stranded. Terry, however, came storming back to the rescue with a brave 84th-minute winner to give Fabio Capello a magnificent end to his first full year in charge.

Terry admitted he was to blame for the leveller. He said: “I was disappointed. It’s not Scotty’s fault, it’s mine. I should have cleared it. I didn’t deal with it early enough and we conceded — but I hold my hands up to it. It was a good performance and it would be a shame if we had drawn that game in the end. (ANI)
