England left it until the last minute to beat 10-man Slovakia in the opening game of the World Cup qualifiers.
Adam
Lallana scored the winner -- his first for the national team -- with a
weak shot that crept through the goalkeeper's legs in the final moments
of stoppage time at Trnava.But the first game under new manager Sam Allardyce will have done little
to encourage England fans hoping to see a side rejuvenated after a
dismal campaign in the Euros in the summer, culminating
England's draw was widely derided on
Twitter as England struggled to overcome a Slovakian side that was
reduced to 10 men when Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel was sent off
early in the second half after a second yellow card for stamping on
England striker Harry Kane.
England
struggled to break down the Slovakian defense and it wasn't until the
64th minute that any kind of effort hit the target.
