Nketiah scores four for England U-19s

Academy youngster Eddie Nketiah scored four goals on Wednesday night, as England under-19s beat the Faroe Islands 6-0.

The 18-year-old was joined by Reiss Nelson and Joe Willock in Paul Simpson's side, who are continuing qualification for the European Championships.

Nketiah opened the scoring after 23 minutes, before netting shortly after half-time.

Sunderland's Elliot Embleton score soon after, while Nketiah bagged another two before full-time, along with an assist, teeing up Nottingham Forest's Ben Brereton.

Our three youngsters will be in action again over the course of the next week, as they face Iceland and Bulgaria.
