Young played a part in one of Rooney’s goals, whilst Chris Smalling was accomplished and stuck to his task of marking Martin Petrov relatively well. Tom Cleverley and Phil Jones also got callups but did not feature.

Javier Hernandez got Mexico’s only goal in a 1-1 draw with Poland. Chicharito continues to improve his already excellent international goalscoring record, which now stands at 22 goals in 31 appearances. He is 6 goals away from breaking into the top 10, and must eclipse Jared Borghetti’s total of 46 to become Mexico’s record goalscorer.

Darren Fletcher made a long awaited comeback for Scotland and the news will be welcomed by United fans. Fletcher marked his return with a goal and assist, Scotland were only able to draw 2-2 Vs the Czech Republic, in a game marred by controversy.

Nani helped Portugal to a 4-0 away win in Cyprus with an assist for one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal, he was substituted with 5 minutes remaining in the game.

Jonny Evans meanwhile was unable to prevent Serbia from picking up maximum points vs Northern Ireland in a 1-0 loss despite playing the whole game. Patrice Evra was more successful on the other hand, France coming out 2-1 victors against Albania.

David De Gea captained Spain U-21's to a 7-2 win Vs Georgia, but was also beaten by a quite bizarre own goal:
