| MINI
REPORT |
| The impressive
Joe Cole finished superbly from a Shaun Wright-Phillips cross in the
third minute of injury time to give England a deserved win at Anfield.
Charlton striker Darren Bent made his debut. England had the majority
of the play in the first-half but could not break down a well controlled
Uruguay defence and went in at the break 1-0 down after a wonder
strike on 26 minutes from Pouso, smashing a cleared corner into
the top of Paul Robinson’s net giving the Spurs keeper no
chance.
England started the second half strongly and Wayne Rooney went
close. They got the equaliser they deserved on 75 minutes with substitute
Peter Crouch scoring his first international goal heading home well
from a Joe Cole cross. England controlled the game in the last 15
minutes and got their reward with Coles late late winner.

AFTER MATCH COMMENTS

| England boss
Sven-Goran Eriksson said: "Joe Cole was fantastic. In my opinion,
he was the best player on the pitch. He is a very mature player now
he knows when to dribble, when to give the ball and when to defend.
He was in our own box defending."
"Joe is not playing every game for Chelsea. Very often when
he starts a game he doesn't finish it so it was good for him to
get 90 minutes."
Eriksson said of Crouch: "That's Peter Crouch, he's different.
It is almost impossible to defend against him. He showed how important
he is, even if he starts on the bench."
On Charlton's Darren Bent Eriksson said: "That is the first
time he has played and it is never easy. He played better in the
second half and he was unlucky." |
