team notes: |
Denmark's first home win over England, at their eighth attempt
since 1948. Rommedahl, Gravgaard and
Larsen become the first substitutes to have scored against England, and
not since USSR's defeat of England in June 1984 have two substitutes
scored against England. Michael Gravgaard is the first opposition
player to score on his debut since Matlan Marjan's debut brace for
Malaysia aganist England in June 1991. Coach Morten Olsen
won a couple of his 102 Danish appearances against England, in
September 1979, and in September 1983, when he was the captain in the
Wembley victory. |

Match Report
(Mike Payne's exclusive report coming shortly) |
Denmark scored three goals in seven second-half
minutes as England were humiliated in their final game before their
World Cup qualifier in Wales. Charlton's Dennis Rommedahl
scored from two yards after goalkeeper David James had rashly rushed
from his goal. Rommedahl passed for Jon Dahl Tomasson to
score, while Michael Gravgaard headed a corner against Steven
Gerrard and into the England net. Wayne Rooney scored a late
consolation before Soren Larsen made it 4-1.
All things considered the match
- England's worst defeat since losing to Wales in May 1980 - turned
into everything Sven-Göran Eriksson did not want ahead of the crunch
qualifier in Cardiff. Defoe - expected to start against
Wales with Michael Owen suspended - was replaced at half time after
45 minutes in which he did little to state his case for inclusion.
And England's defence looked brittle under pressure after starting
the second half poorly. Only Rooney, as feisty and committed as
always, really stood out for the visitors. Denmark, on the
other hand, stated their intent from the off, starting the match at
a tempo more suited to a qualifier than a friendly.
Once England adjusted they did create chances,
with Frank Lampard and David Beckham both peppering the goal inside
the opening 15 minutes - the captain's low drive narrowly missing.
A poor pass from keeper S�rensen gifted the ball to Beckham but
Defoe could not quite meet his skipper's cross and the Danish keeper
eventually gathered the ball. An error from S�rensen cost his
team a goal when the two sides met at the 2002 World Cup and England
had almost profited from his charity once again. Defoe,
desperate to impress, failed to convert an even better chance after
30 minutes. The Tottenham striker made a poor contact with a
low cross from Gerrard, though his strike nonetheless was well
placed and forced a decent save from S�rensen.
Rooney had the ball in the net but the goal was
ruled out for a foul on Per Nielsen, while the 19-year-old should
have been awarded a penalty after he was held back by Christian
Poulsen but the infringement went unnoticed.
Eriksson made four substitutions at the break,
including the introduction of Owen for Defoe - but the England
coach's plans soon lay in tatters. James tried to cut out a
raking cross-field pass but intended target Tomasson kept his calm
to elude the keeper before crossing from the byeline for Rommedahl
to tap home. The compliment was soon returned as Claus
Jensen's cross was half-cleared to Rommedahl, who headed the ball
for Tomasson to convert from three yards. England's misery was
compounded when Gravgaard met a header and the ball went into the
England net, seemingly taking a deflected off Gerrard on the way.
It might have got worse but Poulsen headed
straight at James when well placed before Rooney scored a
consolation with a tidy right-foot finish after connecting with a
through ball. But the goals had not finished, with Larsen
out-stretching Rio Ferdinand before poking the ball past the
beleaguered James. - BBC Sport
