Perfect 10 for England in Euro 2016 qualifying





VILNIUS, Lithuania — England wrapped up its qualification campaign for the European Championship with a 3-0 win over Lithuania on Monday.
That victory meant Roy Hodgson's side finished with the best record in qualifying following 10 straight wins.

Ross Barkley opened the scoring shortly before the half-hour mark, stepping inside his marker before curling a right-footed shot away from the goalkeeper and in off the post.
Lithuania stopper Giedrius Arlauskis, who made a series of saves throughout, was credited with England's second after Harry Kane's initial effort cannoned off him and into the net in the 35th. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain added a third in the 62nd.
