This was a great Victory for England over Estonia, and this win now puts them on 23 points, and takes them to the top of their group and they are now level with Croatia at the top. England is now 5 points clear of Russia and 6 points clear of Israel. England has played one game more that all the other teams in their group, but they know that a draw in Russia on Wednesday will bring them within touching distance of a place in next summer’s finals.
All the goals scored by England, were in the first half of play and after a brilliant first half the second half was a bit of a let down, but the job had been well and truly done by then for England. Frank Lampard was on the bench for this clash, and he has been out for a while with a Thigh injury, but is said to now be back to full fitness, but Steve McClaren chose to stick with Gareth Barry and Steven Gerard in midfield. The first goal came for England in the 11th minute, Richards run the ball to Wright-Phillips in the area and from a very acute angle he kick a low shot which went into the back of the net trough the legs of the Estonia goalkeeper. Estonia won the first corner of the game, but England dealt with it easily. England’s 2nd goal came in the 32nd minute by Wayne Rooney and he finally laid to rest his competitive drought, which goes back to euro 2004. The 3rd goal for England came just one minute later in the 33rd minute, Ashley Cole whipped in a cross from deep and in an attempt to clear the ball Rahn sent a header past his own keeper and it went in of the post. This sealed England’s Victory and they will now be preparing to face Russia on Wednesday.
