Tottenham Hotspur frontman Peter Crouch was pleased to make his mark as an England substitute in the 2-1 loss to France, netting just a minute after entering the fray.
Crouch volleyed home a far-post corner from Ashley Young to give England something to show for a below-par display, with the Spurs striker having now scored 22 goals in 42 international appearances.
He said after the game:"The manager was looking at other things and obviously knows what I can do. I've been around the set-up for a while now.
"Pleasing to make the impact, obviously just disappointed with the result.
"I thought France in the first half played some great stuff to be honest and we had a little bit of a comeback at the end.
"Maybe if the game had gone on a little bit more, we'd have had a different result.
"It was quite quick to get the goal and obviously I'm very pleased.
"When you're on the bench, you hope for a chance and hope you can make an impact when that comes and, thankfully, I did that."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
