It took Ethan Nwaneri just 10 minutes to score on his first start for England’s under-21s on Monday night.
Producing his trademark finish, Ethan received the ball from Jobe Bellingham and drifted in from the right, manoeuvring the ball through the tightest of spaces, before curling into the far side of the goal on his left foot in signature style.
Hayden Hackney, Omari Hutchinson and Jaden Philogene all got on the scoresheet as the Young Lions won 4-2 at home to Portugal in an international friendly.
Nwaneri played 71 minutes before being replaced by Liam Delap, after becoming the fourth youngest goalscorer ever for England U21s behind Jude Bellingham, Theo Walcott and Jamal Musiala.
