However, yet another warning for England, that no matter how much they might dominate matches, they need to take their chances AND cut out the mistakes at the back. Former NUFC striker Mitro with the second goal, suggesting he might not have found playing in the weak Saudi league too damaging, Mitrovic with 28 goals in 27 league starts this season.

Gabon 3 Gambia 2 (World Cup group qualifier)
Yankuba Minteh giving Gambia a first half lead in this World Cup group qualifier. The Newcastle United star showing yet another part of his repertoire, as a deep cross from the left saw Minteh with a perfect header from beyond the back post. Gabon though hitting back with three goals in 20 second half minutes, before a 79th goal from Adams gave Gambia late false hope.
Northern Ireland 2 Andorra 0 (Friendly)
Jamal Lewis played the full 90 minutes as two Conor Bradley goals avoided any embarrassment against Andorra. If anybody questions the value of so many international friendlies, a crowd of only 400 paying spectators gives them plenty of ammunition.
