ENGLAND CRUISE WITH WIN OVER MOLDOVA

WORLD CUP QUALIFIER: ENGLAND 4 - MOLDOVA 0

England cruised to the top of group H after a solid win over Moldova. Danny Welbeck turned hero as the Manchester United's striker scored a brace in the 4-0 win at Wembley Stadium. However, England manager, Roy Hodgson was left raging as a yellow card for two-goal hero Danny Welbeck will rule him out of Tuesday's crucial qualifier with Ukraine in Kiev.

Moldova were no threat and it was just a question of how long the hosts would have to wait for their opener. So, it took them just 11 minutes, Steven Gerrard's scored his first goal after three years to set England on their way to an anticipated triumph. And guess what? The goal was a result from a great combination between the skipper and Frank Lampard!

Moldova were in danger again in the 26th minute as Ricky Lambert steered the ball past the Moldovan keeper and became the first player to score in his first two internationals in 37 years. Danny Welbeck added England's third as he raced onto Lambert's long ball, skipped round Namasco and rolled the ball in.

Just after five minutes into the second half, Welbeck grabbed his second for the night when he neatly clipped the ball from Lambert's short pass. The win sent England to the top of the group, but a headache for the team manager who are running out of strikers for Tuesday match. Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge and Jermaine Defoe are all down with injuries.
