Croatia send England crashing out


Scott Carson is distraught after his early howler at Wembley

England failed to qualify for Euro 2008 after losing a sensational game against Croatia at Wembley.


England went 2-0 down when Scott Carson, in for Paul Robinson, fumbled Nico Kranjcar's shot into the net and then Ivica Olic slipped in a second.

Frank Lampard pulled one back from the spot after Jermain Defoe was fouled, before David Beckham, winning a 99th cap, set up Peter Crouch to level it.

But Mladen Petric fired in from 25 yards to break England's hearts.
