notes: |
Joe Cole is the fourth player to score three goals
as a substitute, and then the second player to score four. He is the
fourth to score two in the same match.
The thirteenth/fourteenth goals scored by a substitute in
qualification history (first double).
It was the thirteenth time
the substitute's goals had accounted for England's tally (first
double). This was also the
fourth time that a goal by a substitute had been scored in consecutive
matches. |

Coach Fabio Capello played for Italy against England in
June (scoring one) and November 1973 (scoring another), and in May and
November 1976. |

Match Report
by Mike Payne |
Two goals from Joe Cole gave England a vital
three points in this, the first match in their World Cup qualifying
group. At times it was scrappy, and overall the performance was a
laboured one from England, but this game was a potential banana skin and
in the end Fabio Capello will be delighted with the three points.
Andorra set their stall out from the start
to defend in numbers, have no intention of attacking and to frustrate
England for as long as they could. For the first 45 minutes they
succeeded and England, infuriatingly had no answer to the problem.
Predictably, they enjoyed the bulk of possession but too many players
were off form. Wayne Rooney messed up one half chance after Theo
Walcott teed him up and Frank Lampard had a shot touched around a post
by goalkeeper Koldo, although the referee then gave a goalkick. It was
obvious that manager Capello would have to change things at the break,
and he did. He brought on the extra power of Emile Heskey and the more
direct skills of Joe Cole for Jermaine Defoe and Stuart Downing
respectively. That move was to pay dividends.
Within four minutes of the second half
starting England, at last, were ahead. Lampard's free-kick was
side-footed by Joleon Lescott to Joe Cole, and the replacement volleyed
home, much to the visitors relief and delight. Just six minutes later
it was game over as Rooney sent a delightful pass through to Joe Cole
and once again he scored with the minimum of fuss.
The Chelsea midfield
player had certainly made a big impact and he has given the manager some
food for thought ahead of the big game with Croatia coming up. In the
meantime England have left Spain with the job done, and really that is
all that can be said of this poor match.
