Gareth Barry is disappointed after missing out on England's 2,000th goal.

Gareth Barry has admitted that he is disappointed to have missed out on England's 2,000th international goal during last night's 1-0 victory over Sweden.

Barry's 22nd-minute shot was credited as a Swedish own goal after it came off defender Daniel Majstorovic's head.

"I've just been told it's going down as an own goal," Barry said after the match.

"It would have been great to score the 2,000th goal and I'm a bit disappointed but I'm not a goalscorer so I won't be crying too much."

Barry has scored just two goals in 50 games for England.

"It should be given to Barry," Majstorovic said. "He headed it and it came off me. I know it was a special goal but I don't want to be in the record books."

Last night's win marks the first time England have defeated Sweden since 1968.
