Teenager came on as a substitute as England beat Turkey 4-1 to claim top spot in Group A
Boro’s Callum Cooke helped England qualify for the semi-finals of the Under-17 European Championships in Gozo with a game to spare.
The 17-year-old playmaker was a 65th minute sub for the Three Lions, who beat Turkey 4-1 to claim top spot in Group A with two wins out of two.
Turkey took the lead through Enes Unal, who had earlier missed a penalty, before a Dominic Solanke brace and strikes from Jonjoe Kenny and Adam Armstrong secured the points for England, who beat tournament hosts Malta in their opening game.
A key moment came late in the first half with the score level at 1-1 when Hasan Ozkan was given his marching orders after picking up his second yellow of the match.
Boro defender Dael Fry started that game but had to make do with a place on the bench in the Gozo Stadium yesterday with coach John Peacock selecting Taylor Moore of Lens in his place.
In the day’s other game, Holland beat Malta 5-2 to guarantee their place in the semis along with England.
England’s final Group A game will be against the Dutch in Paola on Thursday morning and a draw will be enough to guarantee the Three Lions top spot in the group.
ENGLAND: Woodman, Kenny, Gomez, Taylor Moore, Tafari Moore (Egbo 65), Ledson, Cook, Roberts, Brown, Solanke (COOKE 65), Armstrong (Mitchell 70).
