Sancho dedicates first England goals against Kosovo to late grandmother

Jadon Sancho has dedicated his first England goals to his late grandmother after starring in a 5-3 Euro 2020 qualifying win over Kosovo.

England trailed in the first minute at St Mary's Stadium on Tuesday, but Raheem Sterling shone as they hit back to lead 5-1 at the break.

Sterling provided two assists for Borussia Dortmund winger Sancho in quick succession, the teenager becoming the first player born in 2000 or later to score for England on what was his eighth appearance for the Three Lions.
