Mo Marley's Young Lions capped a perfect week in Estonia with victory over Belgium, making it three wins from three and taking England through to the Second Qualifying Round in April next year.

After a thumping opening victory over Estonia, in which Heather Scheuber scored a hat-trick and England notched eight goals, Greece were dispatched comfortably in the second game by two goals to nil.

Building on the success of their senior counterparts in France the night before, England set about their task with smooth determination and racked up another impressive result.

Although Belgium scored first through Davina Philtjens after just five minutes, England quickly repsonded with a defiant strike from Sian Larkin to restore parity.

From that point on it was all Mo Marley's side as they took control of the match, with Jessica Clarke, Steph Houghton, Heather Scheuber and Ellen White all geting on the scoresheet.

There was time for a late consolation from the impressive Philtjens, but it did little to affect the positive feeling at the final whistle as England's young players crowned a week of some very promising football.

With the senior side having secured their place at next year's World Cup, the reward for fine performances at this level has never been greater and TheFA.com is the place to find out who the up and coming players are.
