Tom Davies scores to help England Under-21s claim victory in Andorra

England U21s edge past Andorra U21s

England Under-21s have maintained their unbeaten start to their European Under-21 Championship qualifying campaign with 1-0 win over Andorra Under-21s.

The Young Lions laboured against their lesser-heralded opponents, who set out to defend at the Estadi Comunal d'Andorra la Vella.

Aidy Boothroyd's charges went in at the break having had just two shots on goal, Kieran Dowell firing a free kick over the bar and his Nottingham Forest teammate Joe Worrall seeing a header hacked off the line.

In the 53rd minute, Kyle Walker-Peters got into space to cross and his pinpoint delivery was met with a glancing header from Tom Davies for the first goal of the match.

Despite the breakthrough, there were to be no more goals in the game, though Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a goal disallowed for offside and his Everton teammate Ademola Lookman saw a shot smothered by goalkeeper Francisco Pires.

The result sees the Young Lions remain at the top of Group Four with 10 points from four matches.
