Michael Owen scored the winner as England twice came from behind to beat Rest of the World 3-2 in the final of the Star Sixes tournament in Glasgow.

Martin Jorgensen gave Rest of the World an early lead, but Owen levelled and Emile Heskey then hit the post.

​

Gaizka Mendieta smashed a corner into the net off England goalkeeper David James to make it 2-1.

​

Joe Cole quickly replied for England with a deflected strike and Owen then netted the winner, having earlier been involved in a clash with Jason McAteer.

England reached the final with a last-gasp victory over Republic of Ireland.

​

Having seen Scotland lose to Rest of the World, England needed to beat Ireland to finish second.

​

Paul Konchesky then fired in the winner with 30 seconds remaining to give England a 1-0 win.

​

Wales and Northern Ireland drew 1-1 in the fifth-place play-off and Scotland and Republic of Ireland also finished level in the third-place play-off after Niall Quinn equalised for Ireland.
