Andy Carroll has promised to start delivering for England on a regular basis after snatching his first goal in an England shirt in the 1-1 draw against Ghana.
The Liverpool forward was given the nod to start against the Black Stars and while he looked sub-standard at times in the first half, Carroll produced a brilliant finish to score the opening goal for England after a fantastic team move by the home side.
Carroll's party was spoiled by Asamoah Gyan as he came up with a genius solo effort of his own to give Ghana a well-deserved equalizer in stoppage time. Nonetheless, Carroll was delighted to have scored his first goal and promised that there is still more to come from him.
"It was great to get the goal," Carroll told ITV1. "The lads played well, we're obviously disappointed they scored in the last minute.
"I'm coming back fit now. Getting the goal proved I'm here and ready to score goals for England."
Meanwhile, Fabio Capello was equally delighted with England's performance despite only managing a draw against the African giants.
"It was a fantastic game, I'm very happy," he said on ITV1.
"It was not a friendly game, there were two teams on the pitch playing well, strongly, with lots of tackles. It was absolutely not a friendly game. I'm really happy with the performance.
"The players played without fear, with confidence. Ghana are a really good team, the performance was fantastic."
