Two-goal hero Joe Cole spared England's blushes as Fabio Capello's side began their World Cup qualifying campaign with a stuttering victory over Andorra.
In Capello's first competitive match in charge, England dominated but were booed off at half-time after failing to break down Andorra's packed defence.
Cole came on at the break and made an instant impact, volleying home Frank Lampard's free-kick on 49 minutes.
Six minutes later, Cole prodded home his second from Wayne Rooney's pass.
It was a match reminiscent of England's last visit to the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona, under Steve McClaren in March 2007, when they were also jeered off at the interval and had to wait until Steven Gerrard's 54th-minute goal to break the deadlock against the part-timers.
Again England's frustration grew as Andorra, ranked 186th in the world, continued to hold out and Capello will be relieved that the changes he made at the break paid dividends.
