Downes plays a full part as England U19s defeat Latvia

Flynn Downes helped England U19s to beat Latvia 3-0

A brace from Mason Mount and a strike from Eddie Nketiah made it two wins from two games in their Elite Qualifying Round in Hungary.

Downes, who joined Luton from Ipswich Town until the end of the season on deadline day, was in from the start as Paul Simpson’s side took just over 20 minutes to break the deadlock, Chelsea's Mount putting the Young Lions in front at the National Arena.

Arsenal forward Nketiah doubled the advantage early in the second half to put England on course before Mount added his second in the 82nd minute.

The final group game with Macedonia on Tuesday will kick-off at 1pm.
