Welbeck Wonder Goal shows Sweden the Exit Door as France win 2-0 over Ukraine

Danny Welbeck hit a clever winner as England came from behind to beat Sweden for the first time in a competitive fixture after their Euro 2012 campaign flirted with danger in Kiev.

Andy Carroll's superb first-half header allowed England to establish comfortable control - but poor defending allowed Sweden to score twice and take the lead before the hour.

England manager Roy Hodgson required inspiration and found it in the shape of substitute Theo Walcott as the Arsenal attacker turned the game around with a spectacular equaliser and a penetrating run to set up Welbeck's deft back-heel with 12 minutes left.

A quote from Phil "Most heartening of all for the England camp was that two key decisions, starting with Carroll and introducing Walcott, were a reflection of Hodgson's current clear-headedness in the heat of tournament competition. "

The teams were forced off after only four minutes because of the stormy conditions, returning almost an hour after the scheduled start.

Jeremy Menez opened the scoring in the second half when he drifted inside his marker and fired in from 12 yards.

Yohan Cabaye added a second with a low strike from the edge of the area.

It was the Newcastle midfielder's first international goal, secured as he moved into an advanced position and took advantage of a Ukraine defence that laboured in the heat and soggy conditions inside the Donbass Arena
