Dozzell Wins Cap as England U18s Beat Sweden - Ipswich Town News

Midfielder Andre Dozzell won his fourth England U18s cap as a sub as his side beat Sweden 2-1 in the second of two friendlies in Taby earlier this afternoon.

Dozzell, 17, was introduced as a 78th minute substitute for Chelsea’s Mason Mount, who had put the Young Lions in front in the 32nd minute.

Martell Taylor-Crossdale, also of Chelsea, added the second on 40 before Anel Ahmedhodzic pulled one back for the home side two minutes after the break.

On Friday Ahmedhodzic scored the only goal as the Swedes won the first friendly 1-0 in Kungsängen, a game in which Dozzell played the full 90 minutes.

Meanwhile, Tom Lawrence was an unused sub as Wales drew 1-1 with Georgia in a World Cup qualifier at the Cardiff City Stadium.

England U18s: Ryan Sandford (Millwall), Japhet Tanganga (Tottenham Hotspur) (Jaden Brown (Tottenham Hotspur) 46), Tolaji Bola (Arsenal), Tariq Uwakwe (Chelsea), Morgan Feeney (Everton), Ash Kigbu (Manchester City), Jonathan Leko (West Bromwich Albion) (George Hirst (Sheffield Wednesday) 85), Dennis Adeniran (Fulham), Martell Taylor-Crossdale (Chelsea), Mason Mount (Chelsea) (Andre Dozzell (Ipswich Town) 78), Elliot Embleton (Sunderland).
