Welcome back, Frank: Lampard was back in the starting XI after he was dropped for the 3-0 win over Bulgaria
Young's goal was England's only decent chance of the entire game. Saying all that, England still dominated until coming completely off the gas in the final 20 minutes and almost throwing two of the three points away.
A three-man midfield containing Frank Lampard - reports of his international demise were greatly exaggerated, the Chelsea midfielder replacing Scott Parker because of concerns that one poor challenge could leave him suspended for next month's trip to Montenegro - enjoyed much of the possession, and for a fair chunk of the first half they were much the better side.
