Internationals: Mount scores in England U-19 win

Mason Mount was on target for England Under-19s as they opened their Elite Round qualifying campaign for this summer’s European Championships with a 3-0 win against Norway at St George’s Park.

There was plenty of Chelsea involvement with Jay Dasilva, who is currently on loan at Charlton, skippering the side at left-back and Trevoh Chalobah (pictured above), younger brother of Nathaniel, deployed in central defence. Further forward there were starts for both Mount and Dujon Sterling.

England were the dominant side in the first half and the opening goal, a debut strike for Mount, arrived after 32 minutes when he converted a pass from Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Chalobah, Mount and Dasilva all had efforts on goal as England increased the pressure on the visitors’ goal, but it remained 1-0 until the break.

Within 10 minutes of the restart, though, it was 3-0 thanks to goals from Tayo Edun, assisted by Sterling, and Samuel Field.

Sterling was then withdrawn with 24 minutes remaining

The winners of the seven qualifying groups will join hosts Georgia in the finals.
