England had the majority of the possession in the opening minutes of the match, but it was Ecuador who took the lead, as Enner Valencia headed in from a Walter Ayovi cross just eight minutes into the tie.

Ben Foster had to remain alert in goal for Roy Hodgson's side as the South Americans tried to double their lead, but Jefferson Montero and Carlos Gruezo were both denied by the keeper.

However, the Three Lions were able to get back on level terms when Rickie Lambert struck the post just before the half-hour mark, allowing Wayne Rooney to tap in from the rebound.

The Manchester United man had a chance to claim his second just a few minutes later when he went for goal from range, but his strike flew just wide.
