Beckham best

Wednesday, 14/10/2009

England finished their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 3-0 victory over Belarus at Wembley - but it was former captain David Beckham who shone.

England were 1-0 up at the break thanks to a Peter Crouch goal but the arrival of Beckham as substitute got the Three Lions going. Shaun Wright-Phillips added a second and Crouch got his second and the team's third with a good piece of opportunist poaching and a great finish.

Bearded Beckham, who was unlucky not to score, pinged accurate balls soon after his arrival and stole the limelight off Crouch who has now scored 18 goals during his 35 appearances for England. This victory was England's ninth in their ten qualifiers, the only blip the defeat in the Ukraine the previous weekend.
