How Sven's men rated out of ten

Nigel Martyn Largely unoccupied but there when needed, tipping Hong Myoung Bo's spectacular 30-yard drive over the bar to preserve the half-time lead. 7 out of 10

Danny Mills Did everything Eriksson could have asked, bombing down the right whilst staying solid at the back. Got into some promising positions. 7 out of 10

Rio Ferdinand A calming pressence alongside the jittery Campbell. Very assured. 6 out of 10

Sol Campbell Gave away too many freekicks on the edge of the area. 5 out of 10

Ashley Cole Still has much to learn, drifting out of position and being beaten far too easily. 5 out of 10

Danny Murphy A hard working performance which could have brought a goal with a right-foot volley drifting wide. 5 out of 10

Paul Scholes In the right place at the time as usual, picking up Heskey's pass to make the goal for Owen. 7 out of 10

Owen Hargreaves Enjoyed playing more centrally and impressing with his range of passing. Twice released Owen from deep, which could have led to goals. 8 out of 10

Darius Vassel Lively early on as South Korea struggled to cope with England's three-pronged attack. Pace a definite plus. 6 out of 10

Michael Owen Scored his eight goal in 11 appearances under Eriksson, underlining his status as England's biggest threat in front of goal. 8 out of 10

Emile Heskey Created the goal with an intelligent pass and got into some excellent positions. A defender's nightmare, but his first touch still lets him down. 7 out of 10

Subs: James 5, Brown 5, Keown 5, Southgate 6, Bridge 7, J Cole 6, Sinclair 5, Sheringham 5.
