The double takes Owen to 40 goals in 85 games for his country as he closes in on Jimmy Greaves, Gary Lineker and Bobby Charlton in the all-time England scorer list.

His second was better as he smartly dispatched a flick-on from Emile Heskey over the Russian 'keeper to make it three goals in two games in just four days. And to cap an excellent night for the man of the match he even set up Rio Ferdinand for England's third.
