England 1-0 Sweden - International Friendly Official Pl
2,000th goal ends long run without a win over Sweden.
England beat Sweden for the first time in 43 years and it was the 2,000th goal in their history that sealed a second win in four days for Fabio Capello's team.
The last victory over the Scandinavians came in 1968, also at Wembley, but that hoodoo was ended with a first-half goal which appeared to come off the head of defender Daniel Majstorovic although Gareth Barry will claim it after directing the initial header goalwards inside the area.
That debate will no doubt be settled soon, but Capello will also be pleased with his team's display after making eight changes from the side which beat World Champions Spain in the previous game.
There were some encouraging individual performances too, with Kyle Walker impressing on his full debut at right-back, whilst Leighton Baines and Stewart Downing were a constant thorn down the left in the first half before the Liverpool man switched sides in the second period.
After a tentative opening, the first real chance of the game fell to England in the 18th minute when Theo Walcott picked up the ball and broke into the Swedish box. Trading a pass with Bobby Zamora, the ball fell back to the Fulham striker, but his shot on the stretch hit the side-netting rather than force Andreas Isaksson into a save. It would have been a great way to celebrate his first start had Zamora squeezed the effort in.
England didn't have to wait much longer than that before breaking the deadlock, as Baines and Downing linked well on the left allowing the Reds winger to clip a delightful cross towards the penalty spot for Barry to climb highest and win a header . The ball was taken past Isaksson and into the corner of the net via a deflection off the head of Majstorovic.
Joe Hart was called into his first real action of the evening with the half-hour mark approaching, when Seb Larsson's whipped cross from the left had him scampering back across his line to just palm the ball away to safety.
Jack Rodwell, also in his first senior start, then came close in the 37th minute when Baines' centre picked him out in the area but his left-footed volley went narrowly wide as Isaksson scrambled around the post.
With five minutes to go in the first half, Phil Jones came agonisingly near to adding a second when he nicked the ball off Pontus Wornbloom just over the half-way line before bursting through the defence and into the area. With Isaksson quickly out to close him down, Jones tried to slip it past him only to send it inches wide of the post.
