Soccer-Late Lampard penalty rescues point for England

LONDON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Frank Lampard rescued a point

for England when he scored an 87th minute penalty to force a 1-1

draw with Ukraine in their Group H World Cup qualifier at

Wembley on Tuesday.

England finished with 10 men when captain Steven Gerrard was

sent off a minute after the equaliser for a second yellow card

as they struggled following Friday's opening 5-0 win in Moldova.

Ukraine looked like inflicting a rare home World Cup defeat

on England after Evhen Konoplianka's stunning 39th minute goal

until Lampard struck after Evhen Khacheridi handled in the area.

England substitute Danny Welbeck hit the post just before

the equaliser and Jermain Defoe had a goal ruled out for an

infringement in the first half but Ukraine also had chances and

in the end were disappointed to go home with just one point.
