England U16s made it two wins from two in the Montaigu Tournament on Thursday evening, when three goals in the second half were enough to beat United Arab Emirates.


Kenny Swain's team are in France to defend their title after winning the competition last year and started with a 3-1 win against Russia on Wednesday before following that up with this victory.

The Young Lions couldn't break the deadlock in the first half, but Manchester United's William Keane put England ahead just five minutes after the re-start. Everton's Ross Barkley then added a second shortly after the hour mark.

Saido Berahino of West Bromwich Albion followed up his brace on Wednesday with the third goal two minutes later to complete the scoring.

England will now face Ivory Coast on Saturday afternoon in their final Group B game.
