Dozzell Wins Cap as England U18s Win Again - Ipswich Town News
Town midfielder Andre Dozzell started and won his ninth England U18s cap as the Young Lions ended their trio of friendlies in Doha, Qatar with a 4-0 victory over the hosts.
Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah netted a hat-trick and Manchester United’s George Tanner scored once.
Fellow Blue Tristan Nydam missed the game having picked up an injury during his England U18s debut, Friday’s 2-1 victory over the same opposition in which Dozzell had come on as a sub.
Dozzell also played the full 90 minutes in the opening match, a 2-0 defeat of Saudi Arabia.

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
