Southampton forward Lallana capped an impressive display when he put England ahead in the 42nd minute, coolly wrong-footing the defence before slotting home.

His enthusiastic celebration, which included plenty of badge kissing in front of a Lallana fan club camped in one of the hospitality boxes, showed what it meant to score on your England debut.

"His home is in Bournemouth, so playing in his home town was a special moment for him," explained Eastick.

"For him to then score was smashing. He took his goal well and played some nice football. I saw him play in the FA Youth Cup Semi Final at Anfield last month and he played very well. That persuaded me to pick him."

Norwich's Jarvis (pictured) played in three positions during the match - centre-half, left-back and left midfield, and looked equally adept in all three roles. He also supplied the cross for Scott Phelan's second half goal.

"Rossi Jarvis acquitted himself very well, especially as we asked him to play in three different positions. He is a very versatile player," added Eastick.

The England coach also lavished praise on Bournemouth and their excellent Fitness First Stadium.

"I must pay tribute to Bournemouth. The facilities and the pitch were first-class. The supporters played their part too. The atmosphere was terrific - to have nearly 10,000 there was fantastic for the players. Some of them won't have played in front of a crowd like that before," he said.

Overall, Eastick was pleased with the result and happy with how England played, especially considering the number of new faces coming into the squad.

"We deserved to win. At times we played some good football, we just did not keep possession long enough to dominate the game. But there were patches of very good football. It was a pleasing performance."
