Darron GIBSON (REP.IRELAND v Estonia)
Anders Lindegaard (DENMARK v Finland)
Senior internationals only
Phil Jones played the full 90 minutes for England in the 1-0 friendly win against Sweden at Wembley.
The United youngster stormed through the visiting defence in the first half and rolled his finish inches wide when he looked set to score his first goal for Fabio Capello's team. Instead, an own goal by Daniel Majstorovic proved the difference between the two teams. Danny Welbeck withdrew from the squad through injury.
Nani hit an absolute screamer in Portugal's 6-2 battering of Bosnia-Herzegovina that ensures the winger will get the chance to star in another major tournament next summer. The United ace collected a ball in the middle of the Bosnia half and unleashed a right-foot rocket to add to Cristiano Ronaldo's opener.
Portugal eventually won comfortably with a couple of late goals ensuring the scoreline was maybe a little misleading and Nani came off with seven minutes to go after a good evening's work.
Darron Gibson's Republic of Ireland also clinched a place at Euro 2012, as expected, with a 1-1 draw enough to seal a 5-1 aggregate triumph over Estonia. The midfielder did not feature in the Dublin draw.
Anders Lindegaard kept goal as Denmark won their fifth game in a row, coming from behind to beat Finland 2-1. A mistake at the back allowed Kasper Hamalainen through on goal and, although Lindegaard saved, Alexei Eremenko converted the rebound. However, the Danes hit back thanks to goals in quick succession by Daniel Agger and Nicklas Bendtner.
