Job done: Joe Hart celebrates with Walcott

Welbeck said that he had been satisfied with the winning goal - which was a bit of an understatement given its importance.

But he stressed the need to return to England's base in Krakow and properly recuperate ahead of next week's deciding fixture against Ukraine in three days' time.

Wayne Rooney will be fit and Hodgson now faces the agonising choice of deciding which of his goalscoring strikers to leave out to make way for the return of the Manchester United star.

Welbeck added: 'When we get back to Poland we need to recuperate properly. Obviously, we have to travel again to return to the Ukraine, so that is going to be important for us.'
