Ghanaian teenager Calum Hudson-Odoi captained the young lions of England as they walloped Macedonia 6-2 in a friendly encounter ahead of next month's Euro U-19 qualifiers.
Hudson-Odoi, 17, scored and played a significant role in England's win over Macedonia on Tuesday.
The young lions certainly found their range, as first-half goals from the English born Ghanaian and a double from Stephen Walker set the Young Lions on their way.
Macedonia pulled a goal back before the break, but England found their feet again after the restart as Nya Kirby made it 4-1 with a shot from the edge of the area before Walker completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot.
The final strike came from Tariq Lamptey, whose left-footer in the last minute meant Downing’s side signed off in style and the Chelsea man registered his first goal for England.
They will now be focused on November when they head east for games against Turkey, Azerbaijan and Iceland in the first qualifying round of the Euros.
