England coach Roy Hodgson has hailed his side's "professional performance" against San Marino in their World Cup qualifier on Friday.

The Three Lions won 8-0 against Giampaolo Mazza's side in Serravalle, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jermain Defoe, Ashley Young, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney all on target.

"I thought it was very professional performance," BBC Sport quotes Hodgson as saying.

"Obviously we were a class above our opponents, but it was good for those ones who don't always get a chance to play to feature.

"It was one of those games where I thought everyone brought their straw to the water. Ashley Young and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain did very well, and we still have Danny Welbeck and James Milner to play out wide. Our options are very good."

England remain second in Group H with 11 points from five matches, two points behind leaders Montenegro.
