Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse and Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Dominic Iorfa played in England under-21’s 3-0 victory over Kazakhstan.







Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse and Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Dominic Iorfa were among the England under-21 stars to post on Twitter to celebrate their victory over Kazakhstan on Tuesday night.

The Young Lions triumphed 3-0 at the Ricoh Arena, ensuring that their UEFA European U21 Championship qualifying campaign has got off to the perfect start.

England’s goals were scored by Chelsea’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Norwich City’s Nathan Redmond and Arsenal’s Chuba Akpom on a good night for Gareth Soutgate’s men, which they were only too happy to celebrate on social media afterwards.

Ward-Prowse wore the armband during the match, and his performance was one which highlighted his leadership skills, as he was at the heart of everything positive that England did.

Iorfa, meanwhile, entered the field after 80 minutes, as he came on for Liverpool defender Joe Gomez.

England’s win means that they have made an excellent start to their qualifying campaign, and they have a 100 per cent record after two matches. The nation’s next fixture comes against Bosnia and Herzegovina in November.
