Match No. 851 - Wednesday, 28th March 2007, 9:00pm
Assist: Wayne Rooney. "...England scored at last in the 54th minute. An Aaron Lennon cross was cleared poorly and Rooney smartly set up Gerrard to pilot a low drive home from the edge of the area." Steven Gerrard11th of 21 goals. Right-footed from 18 yards., 54' 53:27
Assist: Jermain Defoe. "Gerrard did attend to business after 76 minutes, running on to a pass from Defoe to slip the ball home." Steven Gerrard12th of 21 goals. Right-footed from 11 yards., 76' 75:48
Assist: Jermain Defoe. "It was amusing, though, to watch the debutant David Nugent poach a first international goal in stoppage-time. A shot from his fellow substitute Jermain Defoe squirted from the goalkeeper Koldo Alvarez's grasp and the Preston North End forward rushed to make contact before it crossed the line of its own accord." David NugentOnly Goal. Right-footed from 0 yards., 90' 89:56
