Internationals: Nelson assists for England U-21s

We had five Gunners in international action on Tuesday. Read on to find out how they fared.

Reiss Nelson provided an assist as England U-21s won 5-1 in a friendly against Denmark.

Leicester City’s Demarai Gray opened the scoring with a cool finish just after the half-hour mark, before Dominic Solanke doubled the advantage with a looping header.

Marcus Ingvartsen pulled one back for the hosts on the stroke of half-time, but less than two minutes after the break Solanke restored England’s two-goal with a stunning backheel effort.

Nelson then teed up Dominic Calvert-Lewin for a goal from a blistering counter-attack, before the latter scored his second of the evening from the spot.
