Theo Walcott scores just before the break to give England a 1-0 lead over Estonia in their Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley.

Theo Walcott scored just before half time to give England a 1-0 lead over Estonia in their Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley this evening.

England, who have already qualified for next year's finals, were on the attack from the start as Walcott tried his luck with a volley inside the opening five minutes, but Mihkel Aksalu was able to parry the Arsenal man's effort clear.

The Estonia keeper continued to come under pressure as Ross Barkley tried to get a shot away after being played in by Adam Lallana, but was tackled before he could pull the trigger, before being denied by Aksalu while attempting to volley in after a Ryan Bertrand cross shortly after.

Taijo Teniste had the first shot of the night for the visitors just after the half-hour mark, but his effort from the edge of the box failed to test Joe Hart.

England were soon involved down the other end again as James Milner attempted to catch the keeper out with a 30-yard finish, but it ended up going wide.

Roy Hodgson's side continued to press for the opening goal as half time approached, but Walcott twice missed the target in the final few minutes before the break, before finally picking out the bottom right corner after a through-ball from Barkley on the stroke of half time.
