England maintained their 100% record in World Cup qualification on Saturday as they comfortably won in Kazakhstan 4-0 through goals from Gareth Barry, Emile Heskey, Wayne Rooney and a Frank Lampard penalty.
The hosts had a goal disallowed in the first half before England struck twice just before the break. Gareth Barry opened the scoring when he headed in Steven Gerrard's corner on 40 minutes, before his former club team mate Emile Heskey made it two when Gerrard's shot was only parried in to his path by goalkeeper Aleksandr Mokin three minutes later.
Wayne Rooney made it 3 with 17 minutes left, brilliantly hooking in after seeing his initial shot clawed away. Five minutes later Heskey was upended in the box and Frank Lampard dispatched his spot kick with aplomb to maintain their perfect record on the road to South Africa.
Victory against Andorra on Wednesday night will leave Fabio Capello's side one win away from securing their progress.
