England came from behind to defeat Slovakia 2-1 in a World Cup qualifier at Wembley on Monday.
Marcus Rashford and Eric Dier scored for England in a match which all but assured the Three Lions a place in the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia.
Stanislav Lobotka had given the visitor a third minute lead, firing past keeper Joe Hart. However, Dier levelled the scores for England in the 37th minute from a corner.
Rashford netted the winner in the 59th minute with a 25-yard strike to ensure that there was no slip-up, and the team went home with all the three points.

Nigeria survives scare
Nigeria survived a late Cameroon onslaught to draw 1-1 in Yaounde Monday and move closer to qualifying.
Moses Simon put Nigeria ahead on 30 minutes and substitute Vincent Aboubakar equalised from a 75th-minute penalty at Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo to spark a rally by the host.
Unbeaten leader Nigeria moved to 10 points from four matches in Group B and a home win over Zambia on October 7 will clinch a sixth World Cup appearance.
