Lithuania 0-3 England: Ross Barkley impresses Roy Hodgson

England manager Roy Hodgson says Ross Barkley is "maturing game-by-game" after his side concluded the qualification stage for Euro 2016 with a 3-0 win in Lithuania.

Barkley's deflected shot gave England the lead before Harry Kane's effort rebounded in off the back of Lithuania keeper Giedrius Arlauskis after striking the post.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's powerful shot rounded off a comfortable night for England that was only marred by brief skirmishes between rival groups of fans.

England, who qualified for next summer's tournament in France with two matches to spare, are only the sixth team ever to reach the finals with a 100% record.
