Reiss Nelson and Eddie Nketiah showed the quality these two youngsters have in abundance for the England U21’s last night in the 3-2 win over Turkey U21’s in Izmit.
Nketiah scored twice and was unlucky not to get a hat-trick ad Nelson was on hand to score the winner 15 minutes from time.

Both players are full of confidence and that showed, it is never easy, at any level, to play away in Turkey and they showed composure when it was required.
Nketiah, in particular, is really impressing, he has already scored three times for Leeds United since joining them on a season’s loan and has continued that fine form with the England U21’s.
Nelson is battling to grab as much first-team football as possible with Arsenal and scoring the winner last night will have done him the world of good.
The pair will most likely play again for the Young Lions on Monday when England take on Kosovo in Hull (kick-off 18:45 BST).
nketiah is a talent…its good that he goes on a loan and play regularly to improve
nelson should have gone on a loan too
Nkteiah and Nelson look to be excellent players in a few years
They need time, good management and plenty of matches
Nketiah once again doing what he does best and that’s scoring goals. Future world class striker.The youngster I’m most confident about making it.
Nelson has massive potential and I’m really glad we have him.I see both players combing to form a deadly duo for Arsenal in the future seasons
