Chelsea winger Noni Madueke extended his impressive scoring streak to five goals in six games with a brace in a 7-0 win over Luxembourg as England Under-21s strengthened their position in their Euro qualifying group.

Former Chelsea youth player Samuel Iling-Junior, now at Juventus, scored his first two goals at this level, Borussia Dortmund’s Jamie Bynoe-Gittens also registered his first goal and Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers scored two after coming off the bench in the Toughsheet Community Stadium in Bolton. .

Lee Carsley’s side increased their total to 12 goals in five days after defeating Azerbaijan on Friday and the victory left them level with Ukraine on 18 points, eight points clear of third-placed Serbia.

However, they remain second despite a goal difference of 14 better due to the defeat to the Group F leaders in October.

The visitors prepared with damage limitation in mind but trailed 2-0 at half-time and were intercepted at will after the break as England’s superior quality prevailed.

Goalkeeper Sam Tickle made his debut after James Trafford was called up to the senior team, but apart from Fabio Lohei and Ivan Englaro hitting the post in the second half, pantomime boos from home fans over his Wigan connections They were more uncomfortable for him than for Luxembourg. non-existent attack.

Madueke, Harvey Elliott, James McAtee and Taylor Harwood-Bellis were the only players to retain their places from Baku, highlighting the depth of talent Carsley has at his disposal, and the benefit of retaining the top two in particular had a significant impact.

But Iling-Junior, as a marauding left-back, also impressed, as his pace in getting around the visitors’ five-man defense caused major problems.

Jay Stansfield, Iling-Junior, McAtee and Jarell Quansah all had chances before England’s dominance finally showed in the 23rd minute with such a simple goal.

Illing-Junior won possession of England’s high press and passed inside for Alex Scott, who slid towards Madueke on the right of the area and stroked a left-footed shot between Franz Sinner’s legs and inside the far post.

More chances fell to McAtee and Madueke before Iling-Junior fired a second, via a deflection, after receiving a cross from Leeds’ Archie Gray on his full debut.

Elliott’s ability to make the right pass saw Madueke’s shot spin around a post early in the second half, but the Liverpool midfielder continued to probe and after launching a counterattack from inside the England half he set up the ball to Bynoe-Gittens for the third.

With Luxembourg’s resilience broken, Madueke benefited from another Elliott pass to fire in his second and Rogers’ brace, after scoring with his first touch, sandwiched Illing-Junior’s header into a corner.
