England 1-2 France Wembley Stadium


England suffered defeat to France in an entertaining friendly encounter at London's Wembley Stadium on Wednesday 17 November, winning 2–1.

England were exposed by the superior movement and technique of Laurent Blanc's French side, who won the game after goals from Karim Benzema and Mathieu Valbuena did enough to render Peter Crouch's late strike incosequential.

Capello fielded a side that included debutants Jordan Henderson and Andy Carroll, as well as left-back Kieran Gibbs, who made his first England start in the game.
The first chance would come from a veteran, though, as Steven Gerrard hit a free kick from 30 yards straight at Hugo Lloris in the second minute.

Seven minutes later, Chelsea's Florent Malouda got France's first chance, producing a low strike towards Ben Foster's far corner that the keeper collected with ease.
Yoann Gourcuff then picked up a nervous clearance by the English defence, firing a hard strike that Foster could only put behind for a corner kick.
