Manchester City’s Phil Foden scored twice as England Under-21s defeated Kosovo in Euro 2021 qualifying.
Both goals were opportunistic efforts with the midfielder converting from close range after the ball broke loose.
Kosovo should have levelled but for an extraordinary miss by Arbnor Muja, who somehow hit the crossbar from a couple of yards out.
Aidy Boothroyd’s side top their group with a 100% winning record after beating Turkey 3-2 on Friday.
Foden told BT Sport: “There is no better feeling than scoring and I am happy to help the lads, we deserved the three points.
“It was not easy and I thought they played well on the night. We kept our patience and it paid off.
“It is the perfect start to qualifying. We are top now so I am happy. We are a very young team and have not been together long, but we want to win and we play with a smile on our faces.
“I enjoy playing and it was important to get the minutes tonight. We are only early into the season so I am waiting for my chance [at Manchester City].”
A concern to the Young Lions and Norwich will be an injury to defender Max Aarons, who suffered what appeared to be a knee injury while sliding in to make a goal-saving challenge.
