Bulgaria 2-2 Italy: Eder to the rescue for Azzurri in Euro 2016 qualifier

Italy's controversial debutant Eder saved his adopted country from a major embarrassment with a fantastic late strike to lift spirits ahead of their friendly against England
on Tuesday.

Criticism aimed at Azzurri coach Antonio Conte for picking
the Brazilian-born Eder – named by his football-loving
parents after the 1982 Brazil World Cup star of the same
name – was forgotten as the Sampdoria striker produced a
brilliant finish after 84 minutes to preserve Italy's unbeaten
record in Euro 2016 qualifying Group H.
