Report: England MU19s 4-1 Belgium

England men’s under-19s beat Belgium 4-1 courtesy a goal from Shumaira Mheuka and a Mikey Moore treble.

The Young Lions, who are continuing their preparations for November’s UEFA U19 EURO qualifiers, went head-to-head with Belgium at the Marbella Football Centre.

Mheuka broke the deadlock with just over half-an-hour played to get Will Antwi’s team up and running.

Moore added another during added time in the first half before scoring his second and England’s third after the break.

Belgium pulled a goal back just moments later through Kaye Furo but Moore re-established the Young Lions’ three-goal cushion when he wrapped up his hat-trick in the second period.

Will Antwi’s side are back in action against Wales at La Quinta Football Centre on Tuesday 14 October (11am BST kick-off).
