Dozzell Wins Cap - Ipswich Town News

Andre Dozzell won his first England U17 cap as the Young Lions beat Italy 3-0 at Telford’s New Bucks Head in their first game at the St George’s Park Tournament this evening.

Dozzell, 16, created the opening goal for Liverpool’s Adam Lewis in the 35th minute when he cut the ball back from the right.

Manchester City’s Sadou Diallo netted both the other goals from the penalty spot in the 50th and 55th minutes.

Central midfielder Dozzell, who was capped by England at U16 level last season, was subbed on 62 while his Town team-mate, keeper Nick Hayes, was left on the bench throughout, but seems likely to start Friday’s second game at Walsall.

The youngsters face Portugal in their final game at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium on Sunday.

The matches are preparation for the first qualifying round of the UEFA European Championships in October.
