The record will show that Sam Allardyce earned all three points in his debut as England manager, though the big bench-boss might wish to forget exactly how that came to pass.
A plodding England side escaped Slovakia with a 1-0 win in Sunday's World Cup qualifier thanks only to a 95th-minute tally from Adam Lallana, with the Liverpool man firing home a low strike that squirmed between the wickets of goalkeeper Matus Kozacik.
Sam Allardyce is the 9th permanent England boss in a row to start with a win as Adam Lallana scored a 95th-minute winner (1-0). #BigSam #ENG
