It came after a day of chaos in the capital, with fans descending on Trafalgar Square and blocking Covent Garden.

The match kicked off in Wembley stadium at 7.45pm but Scottish fans had been making the most of their day in the capital, storming through Trafalgar Square and even blocking Covent Garden.

Daniel Sturridge netted the first goal in the 25th minute for the English side, followed by a second half goal from Adam Lallana. Gary Cahill added the third to the total in the 61st minute.

A free kick in the second half's two minute's stoppage time for Scotland wasn't enough to claw a goal back and England retained a clean sheet.

The win will be a boost for England's chances of going through the qualifying stages as they started and finished the evening at the top of Group F.

England now has 10 points, with Scotland languishing in fifth place with four points.

Goalscorer Adam Lallana was awarded man of the match.

Fans praised the teams for wearing black armbands with poppies on them, to mark Armistice Day, despite FIFA not clearing the kit change before the match.

Teams have been threatened with a points deduction or fine if they went ahead and wore the symbols, which commemorate those who fought and lost their lives in conflicts old and modern.

It remains to be seen if England will retain the points they won in Friday's match. Wales decided not to wear the symbol to avoid risking a fine.

FIFA said it did not allow teams to wear anything that made a 'political' statement in a match.

The Tartan Army set up base at Trafalgar Square - which hosted the annual Silence In The Square event earlier in the day - ahead of the World Cup qualifying match, with many monuments draped with the Scottish Saltire flag.

The Scottish FA pleaded with Tartan Army fans to be respectful of commemorations this morning, with the travelling Scots immaculately preserving silences across the capital.

But it changed later in the afternoon, with attentions turning towards the crunch match with England - while one fan stripped off and jumped into the fountain still full of paper poppies from the morning's events.

Blood pouring from one fan's leg covered a Saltire flag as paramedics attended a concussion, taking at least one fan away in an ambulance.

Public toilets had to be closed due to deliberate damage such as equipment being kicked and tiles being pulled off, police and workers said.

Hundreds of fans blocked Covent Garden as they made their way through the capital for the evening's game.

There were chants of 'Big Sam's a liar, Scotland's gonna qualify' as the fans drank in pubs and in Trafalgar Square.

As the fans made their way to the stadium, they did so to the tune of bagpipes on the tubes.

Scores of people came down from the column, leaving a sea of shattered glass, wet cardboard and spilled alcohol on the landmark.

One of the lions flanking Nelson's column had a traffic cone placed on its head mirroring the Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow.

Passer-by Nicoletta Morelli said: 'It's not so nice to see London like this. I have not forgotten the hooliganism of British fans in Rome.'

Gillian Johnson, a heritage warden with the GLA, said it was 'terrible', adding: 'It's really not fair, this is supposed to be a public place.'

A foreman cleaning the mess said he had come to 'expect this level of mess' when football fans are in town.

By 6pm the scene was empty as fans started to make their way to Wembley.

Men with large brushes swept away the debris as a strong smell of stale alcohol lingered in the air.

Empty bottles lined the pool rims of the two fountains, which had been switched off after they were filled with fairy liquid by Scottish fans three years ago.

There were a total of two arrests today, one on suspicion of common assault and the other on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly, the Met Police said.

Shortly before the 11am Armistice Day silence, a group of 22 servicemen from all over Scotland congregated at King's Cross.

Kenny Petrie, 45, said: 'We travel for games as a group quite often - this year we've been to France, Prague and Malta.

'We've never had any trouble in England, but there is more friction in Europe, like at the Euros.

'England are trying to escape the hooligan stereotype. We just want a peaceful game and a Scottish victory.'

Andy Robbins, 48, a football coach, said: 'It's a double-edged sword, Remembrance Day. If anything does happen, it'll be tainted by who's to blame.

'With regards to the football, I think England expect too much.'

Bars at both Euston and King's Cross, including The Scottish Stores pub, were teeming with kilt-clad members of the Tartan Army in good spirits.

THE DAY THAT WEMBLEY TURNED TARTAN: WHEN SCOTLAND STORMED THE PITCH As the final whistle confirmed Scotland's 2-1 victory over England and their triumph in the British Home Championship, hordes of jubilant kilt-wearing, Saltire-waving Scots stormed the pitch. The moment entered Scottish football folklore - that Wembley win on June 4, 1977 became the iconic moment - a Woodstock moment - for a generation of football fans from north of the border, the ultimate 'I was there' claim. The crossbar was snapped at the end where Kenny Dalglish rolled home Scotland's winner Plenty were. At least two-thirds of the 98,103 crowd at Wembley that afternoon were Scottish, revelling in the excesses of what had become a biennial pilgrimage to London to see their heroes take on the Auld Enemy. Singer Rod Stewart is visible among the hordes of jubilant Scottish fans who invaded the Wembley Stadium pitch after their famous British Championship win over England in 1977 Watching back the YouTube footage, you hear the extraordinary noise of whistles greeting every English touch of the ball inside their own national stadium and a deafening roar when goals from Gordon McQueen and Kenny Dalglish handed the Scots a famous win. But it is the events after the final whistle that are best remembered. Thousands of elated Scots leaped from the stands onto the pitch - Wembley's perimeter fencing hadn't quite been installed - and raced onto the pitch. Captain Bruce Rioch and his team-mates were carried shoulder-high, the hallowed turf was ripped up and stuffed into pockets to be carried back north, and over-exuberant fans snapped the crossbar. As a live television audience watched on, BBC commentator John Motson's tone can be heard changing from describing scenes of undiluted joy turn into mindless vandalism as the stadium was wrecked. Indeed, it was these moments, and the rioting in the centre of London later that day, that contributed to the curtain being brought down on the Home Championship a few years later in 1984. The 2-1 win ensured Scotland retained the British Championship and sparked the invasion Advertisement

That day the Metropolitan Police decided against trying to move them on. However, after they left a massive clean-up operation took in the square by Westminster Council.

Around 10,000 beer cans were left on the ground and in the foamed-up fountains. As part of the Armistice Day commemorations people will be invited to throw poppies in the fountains.

Speaking in September, the spokesman for the Association of Tartan Army Clubs Tam Ferry said its inevitable that Scotland fans will still use Trafalgar Square for their pre-match party and he urged the football fans to respect any events going on at the time.
