Last updated : 16 August 2006 By @pnemad
Preston striker David Nugent was given a starting place in the England under 21 side against Moldova. He partenered teenage sensation Theo Walcott up fron who opened the scoring early on.

England looked nervous at the back but looked good going forward with Nugent linking up well at times with Walcott and Bentley of Blackburn.

Moldova managed to equalise but immediately after Nugent scored his first international goal with a header. Unfortunately it was not enough as England conceded a late goal.
