Bolton an unused sub as England U20s crush Portugal

The Young Lions, with former Town midfielder Flynn Downes in their ranks, travelled to the Estadio Municipal de Agueda after a home defeat to Czech Republic and a draw against Italy last month.

Stoke City striker Tyrese Campbell sealed his return to the international scene in style with two goals, his second from the penalty spot, to get England up and running.

Manchester City forward Ian Poveda-Ocampo made it 3-0 midway through the half while although Portugal improved after the break, Arsenal's Emile Smith-Rowe completed the scoring just after the hour mark.

The Young Lions will now head back to home soil for a game against Iceland’s U21s at Adams Park in Wycombe on Tuesday evening.
