Arsenal youth-teamer Arthur Okonkwo was in between the pipes as England U16s thrashed Finland 4-0 in a 2017 UEFA Under-16 Development Tournament clash on Wednesday.

Manchester City defender Nathaniel Ogbeta was on the bench for the entirety of the contest.
A brace from Tulloch, along with strikes from Cashman and Duncan secured a comprehensive win for Dan Micciche’s side.
