Crouch leads the line for England

As expected, Peter Crouch was handed his first start under Fabio Capello for England’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Ukraine at Wembley tonight.

With Emile Heskey, Carlton Cole and Darren Bent all pulling out injured and Gabriel Agbonlahor called up too late to take part in a single training session, Capello went for Crouch to lead the line as England put their 100% record on the line against the only other unbeaten side in Group Six.
