Manchester United duo Gary
Neville and Phil Neville were in international action for England as they
beat Liechtenstein 2-0, at Old Trafford, in their penultimate Euro 2004
qualifying match. Gary Neville started at
right back for Sven’s men, and Phil Neville replaced ex-United legend
David Beckham, just before the hour mark. It was Beckham’s first
time back at Old Trafford after leaving the Red Devils for Real Madrid; he
got a standing ovation. Michael Owen opened the
scoring after 46 minutes for England, heading home from a Steven Gerrard
cross. Wayne Rooney, England’s
youngest scorer, wrapped up the game on the 52nd minute, blasting
home England’s 2nd and final goal of the game. England now go to Turkey on October the 11th, and have to win or draw there to gain automatic promotion to Euro 2004 in Portugal. |
