Cole, who replaced former Hammers star Frank Lampard on the hour mark, scored from the free-kick he earned.

His unstoppable drive around the wall into the corner of the net was his first goal full the full England side.

"It has not really sunk in yet," said Cole after the game.

"It is just a great feeling and hopefully I will get the chance to do it again next week.

"I want the chance to prove myself at this level and I want to play in the important games and I cannot have done myself any harm.

"No disrespect to the England Under-21s but I don't ever want to be back there now."
