Tomori Shines, Solanke Sub, Abraham Benched As England Beat Andorra
Published: October 10, 2017
Chelsea wonderkid Fikayo Tomori played the full ninety minutes as England beat Andorra 1-0 in a 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier at Estadi Comunal d'Andorra la Vella on Tuesday evening.
Everton's Ademola Lookman also started and put in a full shift for the Young Lions, Tammy Abraham dropped to the bench after starting last Friday's 3-1 win against Scotland, and Dominic Solanke came on as a 79th minute substitute.
Tomori produced a superb display in the center of England's defense and prevented the opponents from scoring.
The only goal of the game came in the 52nd minute from Everton midfielder Tom Davies, who headed home a Kyle Walker-Peters cross.
In a different age group, England U20s cruised to an easy 4-0 win over Czech Republic at St George’s Park, with Johnson, Mavididi (2) and Barnes writing their names on the score-sheet.
Fulham midfielder Adetayo Edun clocked up 30 minutes after coming off the bench in the second half, Chelsea loanee Ike Ugbo was an unused substitute.
