Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce says Roy Hodgson should consider including Jermain Defoe in his England squad for Euro 2016. Defoes 15th Premier League goal of the season helped defeat Chelsea 3-2 on Saturday and victory over Everton - live on Sky Sports on Wednesday night - would secure the Black Cats top-flight status.The former West Ham and Tottenham striker has proved instrumental in guiding Sunderland towards safety and, with Danny Welbecks place on the plane to France now in doubt, Allardyce believes 33-year-old Defoe deserves to be considered by Hodgson. Allardyce believes Defoe deserves another chance at international level I just think that, if Roy needed anybody to go along with the experience Jermain has when he needs a goal - maybe not from the start sometimes - Jermain would be your man if he felt he needed it, because he has proven that this year, said the Sunderland boss.Hes had a big run of games that he has not had for a few years and he has been a consistent performer at the highest level again and scored 18 goals in all competitions. That leaves him around the third or the fourth highest scorer in the Premier League in all competitions this year, which is pretty miraculous in a team thats been sat in the bottom three or four all season.Defoe has won 55 caps for England to date, scoring 19 goals. His last cap came as a substitute in the 2-0 friendly home defeat by Chile at Wembley in November 2013. Sam Allardyce looks ahead to Wednesdays match against Everton Allardyce added: For the first time for a few years, hes consistently played week in and week out for us at Sunderland and delivered, and delivered in a position that people questioned that he could deliver in, which is as a central striker on his own. Defoe has been in fine goalscoring form in recent weeks Hes done all that in whats been a struggle for us for most of the year, so its a great credit to him and his professionalism and dedication, and his ability in front of goal.We couldnt have asked for the ball to drop any better than it did for that third goal [against Chelsea] to Jermain. Hed be the one on the pitch we would have all wanted it to drop to, and he didnt disappoint us.

We beat a good team three out of four, manager Joe Girardi said. Hopefully we can carry the momentum into the second half.New York scored four runs in the second and six in the fifth, but Sundays win was anything but easy.Tanaka took an 11-1 lead into the fifth, but was charged with seven runs (three earned) and fell one out short of qualifying for his seventh win.

Dellin Betances warmed up in the ninth while Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman were unavailable after Saturdays 7-6 win in 11 innings.It feels a little different to come into a game with a four-run lead, Eovaldi said.

Right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall failed to come up with a catchable fly ball in New Yorks big inning and All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor committed a throwing error in the fifth.Starlin Castro started the second with a double. With one out, Santana failed to catch Lindors throw on a grounder hit by Rob Refsnyder. The ball rolled to the stands, scoring Castro.Chisenhall got a glove on Austin Romines fly ball to the warning track, but couldnt hold on. Romine was given a double, putting runners at second and third.Ellsbury headed to first on a 3-1 pitch, which DeJesus called a strike. Ellsbury argued the call to the point where Girardi came out of the dugout before his center fielder calmed down.It ended up working out, said Ellsbury, who homered on the next pitch. I guess Im happy he made that call.TOUGH STRETCH AHEADThe Yankees finished their road trip 5-5, but Girardi knows theres work to do.
