England Under-17s made it two wins from two at the Croatia Cup on Friday afternoon, after beating Greece by 3-0.
Fresh from their 5-0 win over hosts Croatia in the tournament opener in Pula on Wednesday, Steve Cooper’s Young Lions picked up where they left off during their second game in Novigrad.
The first goal came through Reading striker Danny Loader on the half-hour mark, before Arsenal’s Emile Smith-Rowe doubled the lead just after the break.
