England youngsters enjoy perfect start to European qualification campaign

Three of our Academy players made ideal starts to their respective European Championship qualification campaigns with England.

Starting with the England Under-17s, Oscar Sandiford played the full 90 minutes while Oliver Boast was a second-half substitute as they kick-started their UEFA European Championship qualification campaign with a 3-0 win over the Faroe Islands at St George's Park.

Meanwhile, with the Under-18s, Malachi Hardy was an unused substitute as his side enjoyed a 4-1 victory over Bulgaria to make the perfect start to their UEFA Under-19 2027 European Championship qualification campaign.
