After England's 2-1 win against Denmark at the Parken stadium, manager Fabio Capello has voiced his content at not only his side's result, but the performance too.
Goals from Aston Villa duo Darren Bent and Ashley Young cancelled out Daniel Agger's early opener for the homeside as England looked to play attractive football at every opportunity.
Capello, who now has 22 wins as England manager, seemed satisfied with his team, and particularly players who had not played very often before.
Speaking to ITV after the match, the Italian said: "I'm happy with the result and happy with the performance of some of the players, especially those that play less than the others."
The night also marked a landmark first start in an England shirt for Jack Wilshere, who had a solid 45 minutes before being withdrawn ahead of Arsenal's busy schedule, but Capello appeared happy with what he saw and wouldn't give away any clues to his involvement in England's up-coming Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales.
The former Real Madrid manager said: "It was an interesting debut for Wilshere.
"It is a little too early to decide my line-up [for Wales Euro 2012 qualifier], but it was a good game for him."
Capello also went on to talk about one of the goal-scorer, Darren Bent, and was suitably impressed with what he saw.
He said: "Darren Bent scored and had a chance to add a second. He played well and worked well, and helped the team when we needed to press."
It wasn't just a good night for the England manager, as many club managers would also be able to breathe a sigh of relief after Capello revealed the players remained unscathed.
He added: "No-one is injured which is important for the clubs."
On the other hand, former Denmark international Peter Schmeichel also appeared pleased with his own country's performance, although seemed slightly irritated by the mass changes in the second half.
Despite losing, he voiced praise for Christian Eriksen who in the first half caused no end of problems for the England defence, with his ball control and passing causing a lot of damage.
The former Manchester United goalkeeper said on Twitter: "Denmark's best XI can compete with the best nations, but make one or two changes and we saw what happened then. Happy with first half and Christian Eriksen."
