England qualifier an internet success

The internet coverage of England's World Cup qualifier against Ukraine has been dubbed a success.

Fans had to pay up to £11.99 to see the action online with 12 cinemas across the UK also screening the game, which England lost 1-0 to Ukraine.

Access to the website proved easy and the broadcast ran smoothly with a more than reasonable picture quality.

Media company Perform streamed the tie while the BBC screened the highlights.

The number of subscriptions was estimated at between 250,000 and 300,000 but final figures are expected to be released later in the week.
