Rickie Lambert was a regular in the England squad in 2014, making seven appearances and scoring one goal.
After bursting onto the scene last year with his match-winning header against Scotland, Lambert added to his tally in his first outing of 2014.
Having just signed for boyhood club Liverpool, from Southampton, Lambert started against Ecuador in the Three Lions' World Cup warm-up game in Miami at the start of June.
Roy Hodgson's men found themselves a goal behind before Wayne Rooney levelled, then Lambert gave England a second-half lead.
Ross Barkley finished off his surging run forward by laying into the path of the 32-year-old just inside the box. Lambert unleashed a powerful drive that gave the keeper no chance.
Lambert's third England strike was later cancelled out as the game ended 2-2.
The Kirkby-born striker played six more times for England in 2014, all as substitute, including an appearance at the World Cup against Uruguay.
