    England Under-21s boss Aidy Boothroyd, speaking to BT Sport: "I am pleased we have qualified but we as a group can do better than what we showed. I thought tonight we didn't show the football we are used to seeing on a regular basis. There were snippets of it, but you have to give credit to the opponents.

    "In terms of tinkering I have a really good idea of the core of the squad. November (final qualifying games) is a key time for us to get the lads together and make sure we are even better in our preparation and even better in our performances and finish qualifying on a high.

    "Eddie Nketiah is in esteemed company with Alan Shearer. He is a terrific player and I genuinely think if he can have the career Alan has had he will have done really well."
