It was a pretty straightforward night for England’s U21 side.
The Young Lions just had to see off a Kazakhstan steam in the U21 Championships.
It was a match they dominated from start to finish.
Chelsea’s young star Ruben Loftus-Cheek opened his account with a brilliant half volley in the 53rd minute.

It was swiftly followed up by a lovely incisive finish from Norwich City’s Nathan Redmond, after some lovely Route 1 stuff from England’s goalkeeper Jordan Pickford that Sam Allardyce would be proud of.

Then, not to be outdone by his Chelsea contemporary, Arsenal forward Chuba Akpom finished off the 3-0 victory with this…
