2012 Euro Cup Group D: England 3-2 Sweden
Saturday, June 16, 2012 Report by Rajarshi Ghosh
Theo Walcott emerged from the bench to score one goal and set up another as England earned a 3-2 victory over Sweden at Euro 2012.
Roy Hodgson introduced Andy Carroll to England’s starting XI and that decision seemed to have paid dividends when the Liverpool striker sent England into a first-half lead with a powerful header.
Sweden, however, improved dramatically after the break and after Glen Johnson failed in his attempt to keep Olof Mellberg's finish out, the Olympiakos defender headed home a second to put Erik Hamren's team in front.
But Walcott made all the difference when England seemed to be crumbling, levelling the score with a 25-yard volley before laying on Danny Welbeck's outstanding winning goal.
Welbeck's winner ensured Sweden's departure from the competition with one group game, against France, still to play, but England march on and will enter their final first-round fixture against Ukraine requiring only a draw to secure progression.
