ENGLAND were last night back on track in their quest for glory in the European Championships.

The crucial 3-0 win against Switzerland came after two goals from teenage sensation Wayne Rooney and a Steven Gerrard strike helped to erase the memory of Sunday's painful defeat by France.

And in a double boost for the team, the victory was not marred by further violence from England fans.

Rooney, the 18-year-old Everton striker, became the tournament's youngest ever scorer when he headed in a Michael Owen cross.

The result means England will qualify for the quarter-finals if they draw with Croatia in their final group B match on Monday night.

But the joyous scenes among England's fans last night were in stark contrast to the violence on the Algarve, which has marred the tournament this week.

Disturbances in Albufeira saw 33 fans agree to be deported yesterday, a day after 11 fans were ordered out of the country following riots.

The 33 were bundled into court yesterday, some in ripped and bloodied shirts, to face accusations of rioting in the early hours of Wednesday.

Prosecutors agreed to offer no evidence against the fans during the 30-minute hearing.

In return, the men all agreed to leave the country voluntarily and be banned from returning for a year. They will have a trial in Portugal later this year, but do not have to attend.

Among them was father-of-two Christopher Bone, 28, from Gateshead.

Mr Bone's distraught mother, Maureen, said the first she knew of her son's arrest was when she spotted a picture in her local paper showing him being apprehended

Mrs Bone said: "Chris has never been in trouble before and he's certainly not a violent lad."

Maureen Ashcroft, of Easington Colliery, County Durham, said her son, Stephen, 22, was also one of the arrested fans.

She said he had been standing with his friends when several fans, fleeing police, ran down the street. He ended up running with them into the path of more police officers.

"Stephen is very nervy and he ran in panic," said Mrs Ashcroft. "He's never been in any trouble before. We're all so shocked."

The 11 England fans who appeared in court on Wednesday - including Peter Barmick, 37, from Thornaby, Teesside, and John Jackson, 22, of Throckley, Newcastle - began to arrive back in England last night.

They both received suspended sentences, and were questioned by British police on arrival.
