England's goal in graphics
BBC Sport Online analyses how England won the penalty for David Beckham's opener in the 1-1 against Sweden at Old Trafford.
Trevor Sinclair marked his England debut by winning the penalty that gave them the lead against Sweden at Old Trafford. West Ham winger Sinclair carved out the opportunity in the 26th minute - with more than a little good fortune. He tumbled under the challenge of Sweden defender Christoffer Andersson as he chased Emile Heskey's pass. There was clearly no contact and the visitors were stunned when referee Claude Colobo pointed to the spot. David Beckham gratefully accepted the gift to score powerfully past Sweden keeper Magnus Hedman. Click below to see how Hakan Mild scored Sweden's equaliser in the 1-1 draw against England after goalkeeper Nigel Martyn failed to hold Erik Edman's free-kick.
