England Under-17s recorded a hugely impressive 5-0 away win over Slovenia as they continue their preparations for the Second Qualifying Round of the UEFA Under-17 European Championship.
John Peacock's side are in great form this season and their confidence can only have been boosted by registering their fifth win in a row.
The scoring started when Joe Garner dispatched a penalty in only the second minute of the match and when Mark Davies added England's second fifteen minutes later, England looked to have the match wrapped up.
Theo Walcott added a third before the break before Bristol City defender Scott Golbourne thrashed home a wonderful 25-yard free-kick ten minutes into the second period.
England's fifth and final goal was an own goal which came with thirteen minutes left.
Goals: Garner 2, Davies 17, Walcott 39, Golbourne 55, Own Goal 77
