Tom goal opens Dor

-

ENGLAND Under-21s strengthen­ed their position at the top of their Euro 2019 qualifying group, as Tom Davies’ second-half header earned them victory over Andorra.

Davies registered his first goal for the Young Lions in the 52nd minute, when he connected with a Kyle Walker-Peters cross and keeper Francisco Pires failed to keep the ball out.

Having secured three points from a largely underwhelm­ing outing, while Ukraine and Holland drew 1-1 and Scotland won 2-0 in Latvia, Aidy Boothroyd’s England side are now four points clear at the top of Group Four.

They have 10 points from four games, while the second-placed Scots have six from three.

Boothroyd had made eight changes to his starting line-up from Friday’s 3-1 win over Scotland, with Davies among five Everton players included in the team.
