England ease pass Sweden

Walcot celebrates goal (from football 365)

Goals from Andy Carroll, Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck set England up for a spot in the next round while the Swedish team head back home.

In a match which was intense and thrilling from start to the final whistle, with goals from both teams at different intervals turning up the heat each time the ball hit the back of the net, yet it seemed as though the game would go England's way as they kept up the pressure.

Captain Steven Gerrard was in no way disappointing as he delivered time and time again sublime passes and crosses to Carroll. Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was less than impressive couldn't pull off any of his tricks as his team went down 3-2.

So in the end Roy Hodgson's bold move to utilize Andy Carroll and introduce Theo Walcott, paid off rewardingly.

With only a draw needed in England's next match against Ukraine, they seem set for the next round.
