Iorfa Plays Full Game, Akpom Replaces Hat-trick Hero Rashford In England Win

Dominic Iorfa and Chuba Akpom featured for England U21s in their 6-1 rout of Norway in a UEFA European U21 Championship Group 9 Qualifier at Colchester Community Stadium on Tuesday.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers defender started and went the distance whereas the Arsenal talent appeared off the bench with six minutes remaining, replacing hat-trick hero Marcus Rashford.

The Manchester United striker struck in the 29th, 65th and 71st minute and there were further goals from Nathaniel Chalobah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Lewis Baker during the contest.

Akpom has netted three goals during the qualifiers, against Kazakhstan and the home and away fixtures with Switzerland.

England U21s need three more points from their last two fixtures to book their ticket for the  2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Poland.
