England have beaten Andorra 2-0 in their 2010 World Cup qualifier at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona on Saturday, with Chelsea's Joe Cole scoring both goals for The Three Lions.

England started the first-half fully in control, with Theo Walcott, who replaced David Beckham in midfield, having an early shot off-target, with Portsmouth’s Glen Johnson forcing Andorra keeper Koldo into a save, but then the tempo dropped.

Jermain Defoe and Frank Lampard both had attempts go wide of goal, while some last-ditch tackles from the Andorran defence scuppered England’s chances in front of goal.

The game went into half-time 0-0, with boos ringing out from the England fans after a lame first-half from Fabio Capello’s Three Lions team, who only managed one shot on target.

Meanwhile, the Andorrans were thrilled to have kept the score at 0-0 at the break.

Joe Cole and Emile Heskey replaced Stewart Downing and Jermain Defoe for the second-half and England started the half with increased purpose.

Cole made the difference just minutes after replacing Downing, opening the scoring with a superb volleyed goal in the 49th minute.

He was assisted beautifully by Everton’s Joleon Lescott, who dinked his pass to Cole on the edge of the six-yard box, with Joe Cole smashing home a superb volley past Andorran keeper Koldo to make it 1-0 to England.

The Chelsea star scored his second goal minutes later after Cole received the ball from a throw-in, passing to Gareth Barry then Wayne Rooney, who played a wonderful reverse pass to the onrushing Cole, who slid the ball into goal past the keeper to make it 2-0.

England’s substitutions made all the difference, with Joe Cole hugely impressive since coming on, while Emile Heskey also created more of a threat in attack, but despite their dominance, England didn’t manage to convert many of their chances on goal.

David Beckham replaced Frank Lampard in the 80th minute and his free-kick almost led to a third goal, but England skipper John Terry headed over the bar.

Joe Cole tried his best to score his first-ever competitive hat-trick for The Three Lions, but despite his concerted attempts, the scoreline remained at 2-0 to Fabio Capello's team.
