Match Report (Mike Payne's exclusive report coming shortly) |
David James was England's villain as they
squandered a two-goal lead. Frank Lampard put England ahead in
the World Cup qualifier following a clever free-kick after Austria
goalkeeper Alex Manninger handled a back-pass. Steven Gerrard
added a second with a stunning strike after 63 minutes, before
Roland Kollmann's free-kick gave Austria hope seven minutes later.
Austria's unlikely comeback was complete inside two minutes when
James let Andreas Ivanschitz's shot slip in.
Gerrard passed a late fitness test on his groin
injury and played a part in a dominant England first 45 minutes.
They took the lead after 23 minutes in bizarre fashion.
England were awarded a free-kick 10 yards out after Manninger picked
up a pass from Martin Stranzl in his area. Stranzl claimed he
only played the ball towards Manninger after hearing a whistle, but
it did not come from Slovakian official Michel Lubos. Beckham
passed up the chance to shoot on goal, cleverly finding the unmarked
Lampard to score from close range.
Manninger's eventful evening continued as he was
fortunate to escape a red card five minutes before the interval.
Lampard's pass sent Owen clear, and Manninger was clearly outside
his area when he handled his goal-bound effort. The officials
were not up with play, leaving Manninger's offence unpunished.
Alan Smith should have doubled England's advantage
after 51 minutes when Owen set up the Manchester United striker
eight yards out, but Manninger produced a magnificent one-handed
reflex save.
Austria were finally sparked into action by the
mistake, and John Terry needed to scramble a goal-line clearance
after James' reckless dash left Mario Haas with a clear sight of
goal.
But England survived the scare to add a second,
courtesy of a stunning goal by Gerrard after 63 minutes. He
received Owen's pass 25 yards out and swept a magnificent strike
into the top corner past the helpless Manninger.
Austria gave themselves hope seven minutes later when substitute
Kollmann curled home a brilliant free-kick. And the
unlikeliest of comebacks was complete when James had one of his
nightmare moments two minutes later. Ivanschitz's drive from
well outside the area appeared to pose no danger until James
inexplicable dived over the ball, sparking joyous scenes in the
Austrian camp.
England sent on Jermain Defoe in a desperate bid
to repair the damage, and the in-form Spurs striker almost snatched
victory with a snap-shot that struck the outside of the post.
