His coach branded it an ‘outstanding’ finish after the full time whistle, and it will live long in the memory for those who saw it.

Introducing Tottenham academy product, Marcus Edwards.

Competing in the European Under-17’s Championships in Bulgaria, England have progressed to the last eight of the competition following their 1-0 victory over Ireland on Wednesday night.

With the scores level in Stara Zagora and only nine minutes remaining on the clock, Edwards collected the ball outside the penalty area, held off a defender mid turn, before lashing a right-footed strike into the top corner.

A fantastic strike, particularly for a left footer.

"We missed a lot of chances and it would've been great to score earlier, but in the end it took an outstanding goal to win it," said England coach John Peacock after the match.

"Marcus is predominantly left-footed, and everybody always tries to keep him on the other foot. But all of a sudden he pulls one out with his right foot that goes into the top corner.

"He obviously saw the picture in his head, technically delivered it and I'm delighted as it got us the win I thought we deserved."

England will now face Russia in the quarter-finals.
