Match Report

 
[To come.]

Best start for an England manager since Winterbottom (whose team drew in his fifth match in charge).

Biggest victory since 6-0 against Luxembourg under Hoddle.

Agreement between teams that 11 substitutes could be used, and England's 10 substitutions break record set in Malta match of last year.  Seaman the only unused sub for England.  

Teddy Sheringham signs next day with Tottenham Hotspur; scores for England on last day as Manchester United player.

Four debuts, all as substitutes:  Smith, Carrick, Cole and Mills.
