Match Report

Shaun Wright-Phillips scored a brilliant debut
goal as England cruised to victory against Ukraine. Manchester
City's youngster, on as a substitute, crowned a solo run with a
stunning finish after 71 minutes. It sealed England's win, set
up by goals from the new Real Madrid pairing of David Beckham and
Michael Owen. Beckham diverted in John Terry's cross after 28
minutes and Owen headed home a centre from the England captain five
minutes after the interval.
England coach Sven-Göran
Eriksson was delighted with the outcome after recent speculation
surrounding his future. But it was Wright-Phillips who will
grab the headlines, stealing the show in a low-key friendly at St
James' Park. England made a sluggish start and survived a
scare after only three minutes, when goalkeeper David James fumbled
a drive from Oleg Husev and was fortunate not to be punished.
And the visitors squandered another early
opportunity when Andriy Shevchenko set up Ruslan Rotan, but he
side-footed wastefully over the top. Beckham was anxious to
make headlines for the right reasons after his miserable summer at
Euro 2004 in Portugal. And he almost created the opener for Alan
Smith with a cross that brought an over-head kick from the
Manchester United which flew wide. Beckham turned from creator
to goalscorer after 28 minutes to put England ahead. The goal
owed much to a large slice of fortune, with Terry's misplaced cross
landed at Beckham's feet at the far post for a simple finish.
England coach Eriksson made three substitutions at the interval,
replacing Gary Neville, Steven Gerrard and Smith with Jermain Defoe,
Glenn Johnson and Kieron Dyer.
Dyer received a hostile reception from his own
fans, who jeered him after a reported bust-up with Newcastle manager
Sir Bobby Robson. It was the new Real Madrid pairing that
doubled England's lead after 50 minutes, with Beckham crossing
perfectly for Owen to head home from eight yards. Eriksson
decided it was time to send on Wright-Phillips for his debut - and
he responded in style with a brilliant goal with 19 minutes left.
He ran from inside his own half before pulling a right-foot shot
across Alexander Shovkovsky.
