The England striker trudged off following an ineffective performance before turning and saying to the ITV cameras: "It's nice to see your own fans booing you."

The result means England need to beat Slovenia next Wednesday to ensure they qualify for the last 16.

Captain Steven Gerrard made no excuses for the display in which the team were sloppy throughout and rarely threatened the Algeria goal.

The Liverpool skipper told ITV1: "We're not happy with the performance, we need more.

"We want to stay in this tournament until the final stages.

"We were not good enough to make the breakthrough in the final third.

"We've not got any excuses, we know what we have to do. We have to win the final game which adds to the pressure but at this level you have to handle that pressure.

"We were not aggressive enough and didn't have the cutting edge in the final third.

"Give them (Algeria) credit but we have to look at ourselves."
