England women scored three goals in the last 13 minutes to earn what in the end was a comfortable 2011 World Cup qualifying win over Turkey in Izmir.

Right-back Alex Scott gave England the lead from 12 yards in the 77th minute.

Substitute Lianne Sanderson fired in from 18 yards and Rachel Unitt headed home the third from a corner as England took advantage of tiring opposition.

But until then it had been a laboured display against a side ranked 49 places below England at 57 in the world.
