With England leading 2-0, Eriksson decided to take off Beckham and Gerrard to make sure they would be available for the game against the Turks.
Beckham, making his first appearance at Old Trafford since his move to Real Madrid, was given a huge ovation by the England fans who included many from his old club, Manchester United.
"It's a great feeling," Beckham said. "The fans have always been great to me here and, even walking off everyone clapped me with a standing ovation and that meant a lot to me."
Rooney also went off to a standing ovation 11 minutes later after his standout performance. James had a quiet night in the England goal but, two minutes from the end, had to dive to his left to prevent Frick scoring with a low shot.
