UK Back Pages: Danny Welbeck Is England's Saviour After 2-Goal Outburst

Sean SwabySep 8, 2014

Is the "crisis" finally over now? 

England fell under heavy criticism after a ho-hum friendly win over Norway in their last tuneup before entering qualification for the European Championships. 

Danny Welbeck's two-goal outburst capped a complete performance from the Three Lions in a 2-0 victory over Switzerland that led all of Tuesday's back pages.

Welbeck's first goal appeared to hit off of his shin, so if you appreciate shin-related puns, Tuesday's headlines will be just for you. 

The Star related his shin to a cocktail.

The Mirror instead opted to utilise Welbeck's last name for its headline: "All's Wel That Ends Well."
