FATV – Goals from Darren Bent and Ashley Young secure 2-1 win in Denmark.
England got 2011 off to a winning start in Copenhagen, putting in a competent and impressive performance to see off Denmark and head into next month’s European Championship qualifier with Wales in good spirit.
Goals from Aston Villa duo Darren Bent and Ashley Young proved the difference after falling behind to an early goal from Denmark but it was England’s controlling display in the second half which will please Manager Fabio Capello the most.
The Three Lions retained possession well and could even have added to their goal tally, but after the disappointment of their last game with France in November, a win was the main objective here and that was exactly what they achieved.
