Fulham Midfielder Of Nigerian Descent Scores His Maiden Goal For England

Fulham midfielder Tayo Edun was on target as England U19s recorded a 3-0 win over their Norwegian opponents in a UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifier held at St George’s Park National Football Centre on Wednesday afternoon.

Tayo Edun doubled England’s lead in the 47th minute after Chelsea starlet Mason Mount had opened the scoring.

Spain and Belarus are the Young Lions other opponents in the UEFA Elite Round Qualifier and they will qualify for the European Under-19 Championship in Georgia this July if they top the group.

The 18-year-old Tayo Edun represented England at U16 and U17 level before making his debut for the U19s.

His strike against the Scandinavians was his first goal for England youth teams.
