Young and Cleverley play as England battle for Kiev point


Ashley Young

Manchester United duo Ashley Young and Tom Cleverley came off the substitute's bench as England and Ukraine battled out a goalless draw in Kiev. 

Roy Hodgson's men remain unbeaten and look relatively well placed to qualify for the 2014 World Cup despite just three points separating first from fourth in Group H.
 
James Milner replaced the suspended Danny Welbeck in attack - but it was in defence where England impressed as they claimed a stalemate which will satisfy, though perhaps not enthuse, English supporters.
 
In a game of few opportunities, England's best chance perhaps came in the closing stages as Frank Lampard - celebrating his 100th cap - headed wide with the goal at his mercy. 
 
The Three Lions top Group H, leading Montenegro and Ukraine by a single point. They face the former and fourth-placed Poland in their final two qualifiers, both of which are at Wembley - with two wins guaranteeing a trip to South America for Hodgson next summer. 
 
In the Group's other contest, San Marino scored their first goal of the qualification campaign but ended up losing 5-1 to Poland.
