International Watch: Tavares scores, assists twice

Nuno Tavares starred in Portugal Under-21s’ comprehensive 11-0 win over Liechtenstein in Caldas de Vizela.

Our full-back opened the scoring after just four minutes, having been set up by Fabio Silva. Tavares returned the favour for the Wolves forward just before the break, created Silva’s second - and Portugal’s ninth.

Tavares was involved in the hosts’ final goal, too, assisting second-half substitute Francisco Conceicao to complete the scoring with a quarter of an hour to play.

Elsewhere, Emile Smith Rowe completed 90 minutes, with Tyreece John-Jules and Folarin Balogun both featuring as second-half substitutes in England Under-21s’ 2-2 European Championship qualifying draw in Slovenia.
