69

GOAL! Roman Pavlyuchenko sends Robinson the wrong way from the spot to set-up a nerve wracking conclusion.

67

Wright-Phillips breaks after a good move but Rooney's return pass is scrambled away by the hosts.

A few flares are burning in the stands, but nothing has been as bright as Rooney's goal so far.

58' Hiddink makes his second change, bringing on Roman Pavlyuchenko for Aleksandr Kerzhakov.

38
