After a disappointing opening half of play Peter Crouch led the England comeback as they rallied to defeat Egypt 3-1 at Wembley. John Terry received a mixed reception and England did nothing in the opening half to win back those fans as they struggled to a halftime deficit.
Mohamed Zidan would put the visitors on top in the 23rd minute as he would crisply finish. England spent the rest of the opening half trying to find its feet and generate a decisive attack at Egypt.
Peter Crouch was introduced at halftime from the substitutes bench and he would make an immediate impact. In the 56th the match was tied as Crouch steered home from close range. Another substitute, Shaun Wright-Phillips would notch the go ahead goal in the 75th and then be the provider as Crouch scored again with 10 minutes to play.
Capello said: "Peter Crouch is in one good moment of form. He played very well but it was not only he who played very well. All the team played a good game. Crouch is one of the important players and he has played a lot of matches for me. He is in an important moment of form but when I select the squad I will tell you all the players can play."
