Slovenia 2-3 England : Report


Wayne Rooney scored a late winner to earn England victory against Slovenia as The English Team continue their undefeated European Qualifiers Run.Arsenal Mid-Fielder Jack Wilshere scored two spectacular goals after English side found themselves One Goal Down when the players returned to Dressing Room on the half-Whistle.Wilshere responded with two magnificent strikes for his first goals in 28 England appearances - but England had to suffer the anxiety of Nejc Petnik's headed equaliser before Rooney settled a thrilling affair four minutes from time.

England's captain had wasted a succession of earlier chances but made no mistake as he raced clear to score his 48th goal for his country, putting him level with Gary Lineker and one behind Sir Bobby Charlton.



England manager Roy Hugdson would definitely be worried about the play of the squad as they slipped through chances many times followed by many defensive mistakes which made an easy run in space for Slovenia players.The first goal for the home team was a complete defensive error as 
Phil Jones started England's downfall with a dreadful throw-in and Gary Cahill and Chris Smalling compounded the problem by needlessly stepping up to play offside, allowing Josip Illicic to set Novakovic free to run on and beat Joe Hart.

The performance of Wilshere, looked dynamic and scoring the goals that had previously eluded him at this level, and the win that makes England's advance on next summer's Euros in France now look little more than a formality.

English Captain linked well with Sterling but apparently missed many of chances which at one point let-ed game slip towards the home team.
