Make that 2-0 to the visitors. England’s new 4-3-3 shape is making the side, often derided as overrated, look absolutely magnificent. Wales, on the other hand, could probably be described as abject, but there wasn’t a whole lot that they could have done about the goal that Darren Bent just scored. Ashley Young, who won the sixth minute penalty that led to the first goal, went haring down the right and was picked out by a long ball over the top from Glen Johnson.
Wales Vs. England, Euro 2012 Qualifiers: 2-0 England After Darren Bent Goal
The Aston Villa dangerman sprinted towards the touchline and sent in an inch-perfect low cross to teammate Darren Bent, who lashed into the net as though he was quite keen on putting a new hole in it. For Wayne Hennessey, trying to stop that would have been like stepping onto a busy motorway without wearing any trousers, a metaphor which only works if you don’t think about it too hard.
Anyway, it’s 2-0 England and they’re working to extend that lead even further, with Wayne Rooney the latest to have a try on goal, again from an Ashley Young cross. It all goes a little wrong for the Manchester United man, though, as he mishits his volely and sends it out for a goal kick.
