Wins for England trio and Wanyama, stalemate for Eriksen 26 March 2017

- Jamie Vardy netted to help England to a 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Lithuania - The Leicester City frontman scored just six minutes after coming on at Wembley Stadium on Sunday - Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel played 90 minutes during Denmark’s 0-0 draw with Romania Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy scored his sixth goal for England to help them to a 2-0 2018 World Cup qualifying win over Lithuania at Wembley Stadium on Sunday evening. Having notched 70 minutes during the Three Lions’ international friendly defeat to Germany on Wednesday, the Foxes No.9 started the game from the bench in the capital. Vardy was introduced on the hour mark in place of Defoe and was on the scoresheet himself after just six minutes of action to wrap up the three points.

It may be another international break, but with World Cup qualifiers raging all over the globe, there's still plenty at stake. Having lost to Mexico and Costa Rica at the end of 2016, it was clear that drastic change was required. Brazil's rout of second-place Uruguay confirms that Tite's resurgent side are all but assured a World Cup spot. Alexis Sanchez threw a fit, but it didn't stop Chile falling to a costly defeat vs. Argentina. The second dismissal came deep into injury time so we'll let that one go, but come on, Greece.

Bradley Lowery walked out at Wembley alongside his favourite Sunderland player, Jermain Defoe Jermain Defoe admitted he struggled to contain his emotions even before scoring on his return from England exile in a 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Lithuania. Although Joe Hart wore the captain's armband, Defoe led the Group F leaders out at Wembley Stadium with five-year-old Bradley Lowery, the cancer-stricken Sunderland fan with whom he has forged a strong bond. Defoe scored his first goal on the international stage for four years when he broke the deadlock from close-range after good work from Raheem Sterling. Defoe scores for England against Lithuania on his first appearance since late 2013 "I had to keep my emotions in the beginning with little Brad with me," Defoe said after his first England appearance since November 2013.

Roker Report There's no two ways about it - Sunderland, right now, are going down without a fight. David Moyes looks just as uninspired as his tactics, whilst the players on the pitch lack fight and look like a group that aren't exactly sure what exactly is required of them.

“It’s always a big challenge when you come up against Jermain Defoe,” said Watford defender Cathcart.
