Russia 2-1 England

Oct 17, 2007

England’s hopes of reaching Euro 2008 hang by a thread after Russia came from behind to win in Moscow.

Steve McClaren’s side looked on course to qualify courtesy of Wayne Rooney’s spectacular 29th-minute volley.

Steven Gerrard missed a glorious chance before Roman Pavluchenko scored from the spot after 69 minutes following Rooney’s foul on Konstanin Zurianov.

He struck again from close range four minutes later – now Russia will qualify if they beat Israel and Andorra.
