England's World Cup drama – pictures from a thrilling match against Poland

Posted Wednesday October 16 2013 by Guardian.co.uk
  • Wembley Way is a blur as fans stream to the match. They're expecting 18,000 Poland fans to be among the crowd tonight. The big team news for England is that Chris Smalling will play at right back in place of the suspended Kyle Walker
  • Jeepers. Here are some the Polish fans, making themselves known with blazing red flares
  • Robert Lewandowski of Poland is challenged by Leighton Baines of England as the game begins at a thundrous tempo
  • England's Gary Cahill skips a tackle from Poland's Adrian Mierzejewski
  • Danny Welbeck of England reacts after a missed chance as England probe with a number of half-chances
  • But Poland are causing England huge problems on the counter attack. A slick breakaway move sets Robert Lewandowski free but he fires norrowly wide of the post
  • Chris Smalling fails to get a touch on Steven Gerrard's long free-kick - any touch there would surely have seen England score
  • Then Daniel Welbeck stabs a shot wide from close range during a goal-mouth scramble. Frantic, thrilling stuff
  • At last, a goal! Wayne Rooney sends a header fizzing into the bottom corner from Leighton Baines' cross ...
  • That's put England top of Group H as it stands and, if it stays like that, they'll be going to Brazil. Every reason to celebrate
  • Rooney gets mobbed
  • Rooney urges the crowd to raise the volume another notch. It's hard to imagine it could get any louder
  • In the second half, which is proving every bit as open as the first, England's captain Steven Gerrard fires a shot goalwards
  • Joe Hart clears the danger as Poland attack
  • In the 88th minute, Steven Gerrard surges into the Polish penalty box
  • ... and he ensures England's qualification with a deft finish just as he's pushed to the ground by his marker
  • Roy loves it. Gary loves it. And the fans are certainly loving it too.
