England defeated Moldova by 4-0 in a thrilling match here in their World Cup 2014 qualifying group clash on Friday.
Despite who started slowly but played excellently either side of half-time and scored some good goals to move top of Group H.
The English team will go to Ukraine in good spirits but without Danny Welbeck, who is suspended after a harsh yellow card just before half-time.
Steven Gerrard broke the deadlock with a low, powerful strike in the 12th minute and, from then on, the hosts looked completely in control, meeting the expectations of a less-than-full Wembley.
Rickie Lambert, making his first international start, continued his 100 per cent scoring record at international level with a simple header midway through the first half before turning provider twice for Danny Welbeck. The Manchester United youngster sped through a bewildered defence just before half-time and again finished coolly shortly afterwards.
The result was significant for England, who moved to the top of Group H on goal difference.
