Scholes and Neville in action as England win
England duo, Paul Scholes and Phil Neville were in action as England came from behind to beat Slovakia 2-1 in their crucial Euro 2004 Qualifier at Riverside.

A dismal first half display saw the fans boo the England side off the pitch, but things vastly improved in the second forty-five and a brace from stand-in captain Michael Owen secured England a vital three points.

Turkey's 3-2 victory at home to FYR Macedonia keeps things the same at the top of seven, with Turkey 2 points clear of England having played a game more.

The group table is as follows:

    P W D L F A Points
1. Turkey 6 5 0 1 14 5 15
2. England 5 4 1 0 10 4 13
3. Slovakia 6 2 0 4 8 8 6
4. FYR Macedonia 6 1 2 3 9 11 5
5. Liechtenstein 5 0 1 4 2 15 1
