Jermaine Jenas and Shaun Wright-Phillips were both on target at Wembley as Fabio Capello's reign as England Manager started with victory over Switzerland - now you can watch the highlights. 

The night would have given the Italian plenty of food for thought with a number of other players looking lively over the 90 minutes, despite a nervy start.

But when Tottenham midfielder Jenas opened both his and the Manager's England account just before the break, the Three Lions looked more relaxed.

Eren Derdiyok's goal, coming against the run of play, did offer a set-back on 58 minutes, but Wright-Phillips prodded home Steven Gerrard's pass four minutes later, and victory was assured.  

One of the evening's star performers, David Bentley, began brightly in his first England start with some confident touches on the right side of midfield and linked well with Wes Brown at full-back.
