Two goals in as many second-half minutes helped England come from behind to defeat Turkey in their opening Euro U21 qualifier.
Leeds United loanee Eddie Nketiah gave Aidy Boothroyd’s side an early lead but Dogukan Sinik replied midway through the first half and Mert Muldur edged the hosts in front shortly after the restart.
Nketiah levelled on 74 minutes after some good work by Phil Foden, and Arsenal forward Reiss Nelson completed the comeback with a deflected strike just 60 seconds later.
It means the Young Lions open their Group 3 campaign with a victory – and next up is table-toppers Kosovo, who have won their opening two matches, in Hull on Tuesday.
