England have finally broken the deadlock in the deadlock in their match against Trinidad and Tobago with an 81st minute strike from Liverpool striker Peter Crouch.

Crouch had a few great chances to open the scoring, and had a golden opportunity in the 66th minute, from a cross by the England captain Beckham, but Crouch was defended well by Brent Sancho and his header went wide.

He made no mistake though in the last ten minutes of time, when he rose excellently to head a goal past West Ham keeper Shaka Hislop in the 81st minute to give England's Three Lions the lead.
