Last-gasp England beat 10-men Slovakia

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.
