International Watch: Nketiah hits a hat-trick

It was a special day for Eddie Nektiah as he captained England Under-21s on Friday as they beat Kosovo 6-0, with our academy graduate grabbing a perfect second-half hat-trick.

England had to wait until the 51st minute for the floodgates to open at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina. Nektiah latched on to Tom Davies' cross, before firing twice more within 10 minutes to take home the match ball.

Reiss Nelson also got himself on the scoresheet. It took the 20-year-old just three minutes to find the back of the net after replacing Todd Cantwell in midfield late on.
