After breathtaking goal, Becks breaks rib in England victory

Beckham scored his team’s second goal at Old Trafford, but suffered a hairline rib fracture after a tackle by Welsh defender Ben Thatcher. He’s certain to miss Wednesday’s Group 6 game at Baku.

England leads Group 6 with seven points. Poland moved into second place with six points, winning 3-1 over Austria in Vienna.

The Poles have scored six goals in their last two games, both away from home.
