Find out how players eligible to represent Nigeria fared for England's teams on Tuesday, November 20.

England U21s ran out comprehensive 5-1 winners against Denmark in Esbjerg with Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke netting a brace for the second consecutive international.

The former Chelsea wonderkid netted twice in a 2-1 win vs Italy last week and repeated the same feat against the Scandinavians.

Solanke put the Young Lions 2-0 up with a header five minutes before the break before scoring elegantly with his heel a minute after the restart to make it 3-1.

While the England U21 number 9 went the distance, Chelsea's Fikayo Tomori hopped off the bench in the 71st minute and Tammy Abraham was an unused substitute.

Three more players of Nigerian descent could have featured if not for injury.

Tottenham's Josh Onomah and Everton's Ademola Lookman withdrew from the England squad and Huddersfield Town's Denmark U21 midfielder Philip Billing sustained an injury in the 4-1 loss to Spain.
