The England U21s may have only won 3-0 against Albania in the reverse fixture, but it was a different story last night as the Young Lions won 5-0 at Molineaux with Eddie Nketiah scoring two more goals to add to his record for the U21s.
Hudson-Odoi put England ahead after just 5 minutes, and Justin doubled the lead with 17-year-old Bayern prodigy Jamal Musiala scoring the third on his full debutfor the Young Lions.
Then up popped Eddie with his first to make it 4-0, which you can watch here…

So that puts England 10 points clear at the top of the Group with 9 wins and a draw. Let’s hope they (and Nketiah!) continue that form into the U21 Euros…
