The super sub Theo Walcott at 64 minutes scored a second goal for England which then lead to 2-2 goals for England against Sweden. The Liverpool striker Andy Carrol sent England into a first half lead with a powerful header at first 23 minutes. Sweden however improved dramatically after the break and after Glen Johnson failed in his attempt to keep Olof Mellberg's finish out, the Olympiakos defender headed home a second to put Erik Hamren's team in front.
The 23-year old darted in between two Sweden defenders before lifting a precise cross into Welbeck who got in front of his marker before beating Isaksson with a sublime flick with his heel.
Welbeck's winner ensured Sweden's departure from the competition with one group game, against France, still to play, but England march on and they will enter their final first round fixture against Ukraine requiring only a draw to move on.
