Lithuania 0 England 3: Perfect record for Roy Hodgson in Euro 2016 qualifying

England players celebrate ALex Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal

ENGLAND made it a perfect ten in Lithuania.

 

The Three Lions rounded off their Euro 2016 qualification with a comprehensive win on the synthetic turf of Vilnius.

Ross Barkley's deflected strike, an own goal after Harry Kane's shot went in off Watford goalkeeper Giedrius Arlauskis and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's second half strike did it for Roy Hodgson.

Hodgson made eight changes from Friday night's win over Estonia and left a number of regulars at home.

Jack Butland started in goal while there were first appearances in the campaign for Kyle Walker and Danny Ings.

Barkley opened the scoring after 29 minutes. He took the ball in the middle, was allowed time to pick his spot and fired goal wards.

However without the deflection it would have probably been a comfortable stop for the keeper.

England doubled the lead ten minutes before the break when Kane drove into the box.

His shot hit the post and rebounded in off Arlauskis.

Oxlade-Chamberlain put some gloss on the performance with a nice finish at Arlauskis' near post just after the hour mark.

Tougher nights are ahead but at least England can look back on a 100% qualifying campaign.
