Poland Skittled By Sven's Crew

 

A superb late strike by Frank Lampard gave England a 2-1 World Cup qualifying victory over Poland and top place in Group Six on Wednesday.

Both sides had already qualified for the finals, but Lampard's volley made a much-criticised England team group winners and means Poland head to Germany as one of Europe's best two runners-up.

Captain Michael Owen gave England, showing their best form of the season, a deserved lead ater 44 minutes but Poland substitute Tomasz Frankowski volleyed a brilliant equaliser in first-half stoppage time.

Owen then turned goal-maker as England attacked on the break, lofting a cross into Lampard's path for the midfielder to fire past keeper Artur Boruc in the 81st minute.
