Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored a hat-trick as England continued their perfect start to their European Under-21 Championship campaign with a win over Iceland.

The Gunners winger scored a quick-fire first-half double before completing his treble shortly after the break.

It follows England's 6-0 win over Azerbaijan last month, external.

The only negatives were hamstring injuries to Nathan Delfouneso and Martyn Waghorn.

Both limped off and appear doubtful for Monday's trip to Norway, who also have two wins from two games.

England dominated the early exchanges and after 12 minutes Oxlade-Chamberlain pounced on a loose ball, raced goalwards and coolly slotted home across goalkeeper Arnar Darri Petursson.

Petursson then gifted the 18-year-old his second three minutes later when he spilt Delfouneso's cross straight at his feet and he passed the ball into the empty net.

England killed off the contest within five minutes of the restart when the talented teenager easily beat two men before unleashing an effort from the tightest of angles which Petursson helped into the net.
