Lampard was matched at 16.0 to score first.England had drifted to 7.4 to win the game in-running on Betfair - a market where Spain were backed at a low of 1.82. A home win to nil (not an In-Play market) traded at a high of 10.0.Spain remain the Euro 2012 favourites at 3.6 with England 11.5 behind Germany 4.6 and Holland 7.8.Next up for England is Sweden on November 15 - Capello's men are 1.76 to score a second morale-boosting win.Earlier in the afternoon Wales continued their excellent recent form by thrashing Norway 4-1 at the Cardiff City Stadium.Gareth Bale - backed at 11.0 in the First Goalscorer market - put the home side ahead after just 10 minutes, brilliantly finishing off a neat one-two with Steve Morrison by blasting the ball home at the near post. Craig Bellamy then curled home a shot from the edge of the box five minutes later to put Gary Speed's men in control. Norway threatened a comeback when they scored midway through the second half but two late Sam Vokes goals wrapped up the victory.Wales were backed at a high of just 2.5 to win the game pre-match, but In-Play punters who back the Any Unquoted Correct Score (any side to score at least four) at 90.0 will surely be queuing up to buy Vokes a pint or two this evening.
