England’s U21 string breezed to a 5-0 win over Lithuania at Portman Road, with two of the Premier League’s young flavour-of-the-month entrants for October, Ravel Morrison and Saido Beharino, each nabbing braces while Southampton midfielder Jamie Ward-Prowse also got in on the act with his first goal for the Young Lions.
Morrison put in a man-of-the-match shift, with his second goal of the evening proving to be the highlight as the 20-year-old West Ham midfielder scythed through the Lithuanian defence from around about the halfway line before sitting the keeper down with a jinky step-over and rolling the ball into the back of the net…
Hell, it looks even better in GIF form…
Sadly, we also got a brief flash of the “old Ravel” too when he and Wilfried Zaha had a little barney in the middle of the pitch during which mini-slaps and pushes were traded before Nathan Redmond stepped in and prised the pair apart…
Seems he’s still trying to find that balance.
