Ainsley Maitland-Niles won his fifth England U19 cap as his side thrashed Japan 5-1 in a friendly at Manchester City’s Academy Stadium this afternoon.
The 18-year-old, who is on a season-long loan from Arsenal, played the first 62 minutes and was involved as Tottenham's Josh Onomah opened the scoring.
Manchester City's Patrick Roberts, Chelsea's Tammy Abrahams (2) and Arsenal's Daniel Crowley netted the other England goals.
Maitland-Niles was previously a 70th minute sub during Thursday’s 2-2 friendly draw in Holland.
