HUGHES TAKES OVER AT MAN CITY

Mark Hughes has become the new manager of Manchester City after leaving Blackburn.

The former-Wales manager has signed a three year deal and takes over from Sven Goran Eriksson.

The former Manchester United player had also been linked with the top job at Chelsea.

City owner Thaksin Shinawatra looks set to give Hughes a sizeable transfer kitty, whilst rumours have already started David Bentley and Santa Cruz could follow their former boss to Eastlands.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO 0 ENGLAND 3

Gareth Barry's first international goal and a brace from Jermain Defoe led England to a comfortable 3-0 over a poor Trinidad and Tobago side.

David Beckham made the pre-match headlines, as Fabio Capello - for one game at least - handed him back the armband he gave up after the 2006 World Cup.

But it was the impressive Barry who opened the scoring, volleying home after good play by Stewart Downing and Wayne Bridge inside the first 15 minutes.

Jermain Defoe made it 2-0 almost instantly, before Barry was handed the armband for the second half.

Defoe grabbed his second and missed chances for his first England hat-trick, before Dwight Yorke came off the bench to make one last appearance for his country.
