England crushed visiting Moldova 4-0 in a World Cup qualifier at the Wembley Stadium to top Group H.

The 'three lions' are now getting more confident before their crucial FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ukraine in Kiev next Tuesday. With Montenegro drawing with Poland in Friday's other match, Roy Hodgson's side are a point ahead of Ukraine after playing the same number of games, reports Xinhua.

Captain Steven Gerrard scored his first goal for the national team in three years by opening the scoring with a superb early strike and Southampton's Rickie Lambert made it two goals in two international outings with a header before half-time.

Danny Welbeck added the other two in each half but will miss the visit to Kiev through suspension after being booked twice.
