Italy escape with narrow Estonia victory

Italy survived a scare as they came back from a goal down to escape from Tallinn with a 2-1 victory over Estonia in Euro 2012 qualifying Group C on Friday.

Sergei Zenjov had given Estonia a shock first half lead but second half strikes from Antonio Cassano and Leonardo Bonucci, thanks to some non-existent marking at corners, allowed coach Cesare Prandelli to begin his competitive reign at the Italy helm with a win.

It was Italy's first win of 2010 and first success in eight matches.
