Substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gave England an "added dimension" as he helped secure a 2-2 draw against Brazil, said manager Roy Hodgson.
.
The visitors were outclassed in the first half but Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wayne Rooney scored fine goals after the break before Paulinho equalised.
.
"Alex is lively. He gets turned around [to attack the goal]," said Hodgson.
.
"Our game was looking better before he came on but he added another dimension and scored a very good goal."
.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart was in imperious form to deny the hosts in the newly re-opened Maracana, but once Fred made the breakthrough after 57 minutes it looked like Brazil would cruise to victory.
.
But the introduction of Oxlade-Chamberlain, 19, proved a turning point as he took Phil Jones's place in midfield, with Jones moving to right-back.
He as a player did very well for his country. Arsenal should learn to appreciate him more. He is a fantastic player.
