England fought back to snatch a 2-2 draw in their Euro 2012 qualifier with Switzerland here Saturday after two goalkeeping errors from Joe Hart threatened to send Fabio Capello's side spinning to defeat.

A Frank Lampard penalty and a second-half strike from substitute Ashley Young saved England's blushes after two first-half goals goals in three minutes from Swiss midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta gave Ottmar Hitzfeld's side a shocking 2-0 lead.

The draw leaves England one point clear of rivals Montenegro at the top of Group G, who play Bulgaria later Saturday.

Russia win 3-1
Elsewhere, Russia battled back from a goal down to record a 3-1 win over Armenia in their Euro 2012 Group B qualifier.

Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko was the hero producing a classic hat-trick after midfielder Marcos Pizelli put Armenia into the lead before the break.

The win lifted Russia top of Group B with 13 points from six matches.
