Winning start for Blair

Blair Turgott played his part as England made a winning start to the FIFA U17 World Cup final campaign with a 2-0 victory against Rwanda.

The Young Lions' opening Group C game at the major finals in Mexico was harder than perhaps had been anticipated, although they eventually broke down their African opponents.

Hallam Hope scored a breakaway opener in Pachuca on 68 minutes - just after the Rwandans had hit the crossbar - before Raheem Sterling curled in a superb second four minutes from time.

Turgott was a lively presence on the right-hand side of England's three-man attack, in support of Sterling and Hope.

England qualified for the World Cup courtesy of reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship finals, which were held in Serbia in May.
