Academy striker Connor Wickham won his third England U17 cap as his side drew 0-0 with Norway in their final group game at the Nordic Tournament in Sweden earlier this evening.

The draw meant Norway went through to the competition's final against Sweden, while England will play Denmark in Saturday's third/fourth play-off.
