After England twice came from behind through Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck, Lambert produced the winner in the 70th minute, powering a header into the net four minutes after coming off the bench. "Thats what Ive been dreaming of probably all my life," Lambert said. "It means so much." The striker was called up for the first time by coach Roy Hodgson after the former beetroot factory worker capped his rise from the fourth tier to the Premier League by scoring 15 goals for Southampton last season. The goal spared England from being humbled by its neighbour in the 111th match between the sides after James Morrison and then Kenny Miller put Scotland in front. "We made life difficult for ourselves by conceding twice ... but its very satisfying to win a game like this," Hodgson said. "And even more satisfying when you get a fairytale story like (Lambert) ... hes technically a very good player and has great composure in front of goal." Yet, concerns will linger for Hodgson about the goals conceded -- the first time after goalkeeper Joe Harts blunder -- with key World Cup qualifiers coming up. England is second in its World Cup qualifying group, two points behind Montenegro with five games remaining. In September, England hosts Moldova before travelling to Ukraine. While England is in the hunt still for a spot in Brazil next year, Scotland is already out of the running to qualify for its first major tournament since 1998. Despite Scotland being ranked 36 spots below England in 50th place, that gulf wasnt always evident on the Wembley Stadium pitch as the hosts relied on a newcomer to recover the victory in a game that was a friendly in name only. "Weve come here and put on a decent performance, got two goals at Wembley," Miller said. "But unfortunately it wasnt enough to get anything." Lambert was brought off the bench to replace Wayne Rooney, who played despite being missing all of Manchester Uniteds official pre-season games annd Sundays Community Shield with injuries that coincided with his failed bid to leave the Premier League champions.dddddddddddd Although Rooney managed to get through 66 minutes he lacked match fitness and only came close to scoring in the opening minutes when he made a weak connection with Leighton Baines cross. The one position on the pitch England appeared to have resolved was between the posts, but goalkeeper Joe Hart has started to show signs of weakness in the last year and was left red-faced in the 11th minute. A corner was only half-cleared by Walcott and Morrison sent in a powerful shot that Hart let go under him after attempting to block it with his body. It took England until the 29th minute to level, with Walcott racing forward to connect with Tom Cleverleys through ball to score his first international goal at the national stadium. England, though, was sloppy at times and the complacency was exposed inside four minutes of the second half. Alan Hutton crossed from the right and Miller brought the ball down with his chest, and was left in space by Gary Cahill to lash the ball into the net on the turn. England, though, managed a quick response in the 53rd. Captain Steven Gerrard sent a free kick into the penalty area and Welbeck rose between two defenders and planted a downward header into the net. The game was livening up. Walcott and Robert Snodgrass squared up to each other, with the pushing and shoving seeing both players booked. But it was never heated in the stands as fans between the two traditional rivals stayed calm, and the authorities will be relieved that there was no evident crowd trouble. It was the rampant hooliganism in the 1980s that led to the annual matches between the cross-border rivals being cancelled in 1989, having first met in 1872. But this relatively tranquil night in the Wembley rain will be remembered for the moment Lambert rose to meet Baines corner just a couple of minutes into his first England appearance. "I was trying to play it cool as if it wasnt bothering me but deep down I wanted to scream," the former Blackpool, Macclesfield, Stockport, Rochdale and Bristol Rovers player said. "It was brilliant." ' ' '
