Henri Lansbury helped England to make it three wins from three in a competitive European Under-21 Championship qualifier away to Norway on Monday.
The Hammers midfielder, still only 20, made the Young Lions' opener on three minutes, with his perfect corner headed in by Craig Dawson. England doubled their lead just four minutes later through Jordan Henderson but Norway reduced the arrears on 23 minutes - the first goal Stuart Pearce's men have conceded this campaign.
The second half was always tense in Drammen, with the hosts never out of the contest. Lansbury could have made the game safe three minutes from time when he arrived to meet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross, only to send his effort against the bar.
It did not ultimately matter as England hung on for the three points to go with the perfect hauls collected against Azerbaijan and Iceland. The team sit top of Group 8 with nine points, and are the only unbeaten side in the section.
