England made it three wins out of three in their World Cup qualifying campaign with a fine second-half display against Kazakhstan.
After a poor first half Rio Ferdinand, captain in the absence of the injured John Terry, nodded in a corner, before Alexandr Kuchma headed into his own net.
Zhambyl Kukeyev fired one back after an Ashley Cole mistake before Wayne Rooney headed in a Wes Brown cross and then tapped in after a David Beckham free-kick.
Jermain Defoe finished off the scoring with a late, low finish.
But it was not the comfortable evening for coach Fabio Capello the scoreline suggests, and it was even less so for Cole, who was mercilessly booed by the home fans after his error.
Bern's thoughts;
i can understand e frustration of those fans watching e game. its almost e same boo-hoo as scoring a own-goal. but mistakes do happens.. if e fans think even a amateur player would not hav did such a hoo-ah... then PLEASE PUT ON E SHIRT N PLAY LA!!!
England will be without John Terry and Ashley Cole for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Belarus.
The England captain has failed to recover from a back injury, while his Chelsea team-mate Cole has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
"It is disappointing to lose two very experienced players in John Terry and Ashley Cole for the game in Belarus," said England manager Fabio Capello.
Goalkeeper Robert Green is also out because of a knee injury..
