Berra's Scotland Beaten By England - Ipswich Town News

Town centre-half Christophe Berra played the full 90 minutes for Scotland as his side were beaten 3-0 by England in this evening’s World Cup qualifier at Wembley.

Daniel Sturridge opened the scoring in the first half and Adam Lallana and Gary Cahill sealed the victory after the break.

Former Blue Aaron Cresswell wasn’t included in the 23-man matchday squad, while ex-Town loanee Andros Townsend was an unused sub.

Berra, 31, was winning his 34th full cap but was unable to add to his three international goals. Scotland don’t have a further game scheduled for midweek.

Meanwhile, left-back Jonas Knudsen was left out of the 23 as Denmark beat Kazakhstan 4-1 in their World Cup qualifier in Copenhagen.

Gutted to lose the game as I thought we gave it a right good go and showed no fear! And thanks to the Tartan Army for cheering us on 🙌🏻– Christophe Berra (@Cberra1985) November 11, 2016

The 24-year-old, who has won two senior caps, was a late call into the squad on Thursday evening. The Danish FA have confirmed that Knudsen will travel for Tuesday's friendly against the Czech Republic in Mladá Boleslav.

Elsewhere, Blues youngster Monty Patterson, who is currently on loan at Braintree, will be looking to win his eighth full cap and score his second international goal when New Zealand face New Caledonia in a World Cup qualifier in Auckland overnight.

The All Whites face Les Cagous in Koné in another World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
