Arsenal Striker Chuba Akpom Rescues England With Late Equalizer As Iorfa Is Sent Off Against Morocco
Published: May 28, 2015Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom netted a late equalizer as England Under 20s got their Toulon Tournament underway with a 3 - 3 draw against Morocco.
U20s boss Aidy Boothroyd named Wolves defender Dominic Iorfa in his starting lineup while Akpom started from the bench.
England took the lead early in the first half but the North Africans netted two quick - fire goals to go in front.
Duncan Watmore restored parity for the young Three Lions only for Bencharki to restore Morocco’s one - goal advantage just before half - time.
It must be said that Dominic Iorfa did not impress in the heart of defense and his misery was complete when he was sent off in the second half.
The result means England Under 20s are yet to taste defeat since the start of this season.
