Report: England MU20s 2-0 Germany
Young Lions kick-start their month with victory over Germany in Manchester
A brace from Sam Iling-Junior helped England MU20s get their week off to a winning start in a 2-0 victory against Germany.
The Juventus forward scored a goal in each half to seal victory for Ian Foster’s side at Manchester City’s Academy Stadium.
As the Young Lions continue their preparations for this summer’s FIFA U20 World Cup in Indonesia, head coach Foster will take plenty of positives from their display against a strong and experienced German team.
And after an equal start to the game, it took England a little while to warm-up, but once they found their flow they went on to enjoy the better of the encounter.
The deadlock was broken just over ten minutes before the break when Iling-Junior finished well to get things underway and give England a half-time advantage.
