England has defeated Denmark 1-0 at the Wembley Stadium in the final international friendly match on Wednesday before manager Roy Hodgson names his provisional World Cup squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

This was a last chance for Hodgson's players to impress their manager at international level if they are to be included in his travelling party for Brazil.

According to the BBC, striker Daniel Sturridge, who was one of five Liverpool players named in Hodgson's starting line-up, carried his rich vein of club form on to the international scene, heading in Adam Lallana's cross for his 12th goal in as many games to give England a first win in three matches.

 

Sturridge's Liverpool teammate Raheem Sterling was named Sponsors' Man of the Match for an encouraging display, while Lallana again pressed his case for selection after coming off the bench, the report added.
