Find out how players eligible to represent Nigeria fared for England's teams this past weekend.

England U19s made it two wins from two games in the UEFA European U19 Championship first qualifying round with a 3-1 victory over Iceland in Manavgat, Turkey.

While Tottenham Hotspur's Timothy Eyoma played the full game, Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka was introduced in the 90th minute for his second appearance for England U19s.

A second half brace from Stephen Walker plus Steven Sessegnon's 13th minute goal secured a win for Keith Downing’s Young Lions.

Manchester City's Nathaniel Ogbeta and Arsenal's Folarin Balogun started and went the distance as England U18s came from a goal down to beat their Republic of Ireland counterparts.

The City defender wore the captain's armband for the second straight game.

Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo and Chelsea starlet Faustino Anjorin were non-playing substitutes.

Tyreece John-Jules equalized with 15 minutes to go and netted his second four minutes later before Balogun rounded off the scoring in stoppage time.
