Tottenham striker Pavlyuchenko strikes twice for Russia

Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko was amongst the goals for Russia in their 3-0 World Cup qualifier win over Liechtenstein.

Centre-back Vasili Berezutsky opened the scoring with a shot from 10 yards in the 17th minute, before Tottenham striker Pavlyuchenko was twice on target before the break.

In the 39th minute, he doubled Russia's advantage from the spot after Igor Denisov had been tripped by Liechtenstein right-back Marco Ritzberger. Then Pavlyuchenko scored again from the spot on the stroke of half-time when Aleksandr Kerzhakov was bundled over by Franz-Josef Vogt.
