LONDON - Gareth Southgate enhanced his chances of keeping his job and shortened the odds on Gordon Strachan losing his as England sank Scotland 3-0 in World Cup qualifying on Friday. "I feel really proud of the way they played and the way they went about their job," Strachan said. But after Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson had seen unconvincing penalty appeals turned down, England took a 24th-minute lead. Kyle Walker followed up with a fizzing cross from the right and Liverpool striker Sturridge glanced home at the near post to chalk up his eighth international goal. Captain Wayne Rooney, back in the starting line-up, swirled a corner towards the near post from the left and Cahill got ahead of his man at the near post to flick a header into the net.
