The Reds striker head home from an Emile Heskey cross to add to his impressive total of goals for the national side. At just 23, Owen knows he has plenty of time to score many more goals for England.

Owen said: "Great players thrive upon expectations and I enjoy playing in big games. It's very nice to score 20 goals for your country. Not too many people have done that so I've got to be very pleased.

"I'm still only 23 now so hopefully I've got a long time to score a few more goals and I want to get as many as I can.

"We knew that Turkey was always going to be the main game in this group. We knew it was the big one.

"We were expected to win tonight and it didn't really matter how it happened. The main thing was getting those three points."
