u21 England 6 - 0 Azerbaijan u21

Stuart Pearce's England Under-21s thrashed Azerbaijan to start their Euro 2013 qualifying campaign in style. Debutant Craig Dawson headed in a Henri Lansbury corner, before Lansbury got himself on the scoresheet, volleying in from an Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cross. Skipper Jordan Henderson then superbly curled in from the edge of the area.

West Ham loanee Lansbury grabbed his second, Martyn Waghorn fired in a stunning long-range goal on his debut and Dawson headed his second late on. Pearce has seen a number of his squad from the summer's European Championships become ineligible since the summer, but he was impressed with the efforts of his new look side.  BBC News
