Marcus Rashford grabbed a dream hat trick on his England under-21 debut as Gareth Southgate's side moved a step closer to Euro 2017.
In front of watching senior boss Sam Allardyce, the Young Lions beat Norway 6-1 to go two points clear at the top of Group 9 with two games left.
Rashford was again the star as he opened the scoring before completing his ttreble in the second half with a fine strike and a well-taken penalty.
Nathaniel Chalobah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Lewis Baker also scored to put England on course to reach next year's tournament in Poland despite Ghayas Zahid's consolation.
