Nelson scores 10 minute brace to help England beat Turkey

Arsenal star Reiss Nelson scored a brace as the England under-17’s beat Turkey under-17’s in the first of three European Championship qualifiers.

The Three Lions put three goals past Turkey on Thursday evening as the Arsenal under-18’s regular scored twice in 10 minutes to aid his country.

Nelson’s first effort was a well slotted strike after he was played in by Jonathan Leko, doubling his tally within minutes after Arsenal-linked Ryan Sessegnon was brought down for a penalty, which the 16-year-old slotted confidently into the back of the net.

The Arsenal man has impressed at both under-16 and under-17 levels for England since breaking into the youth sides and is showing no signs of slowing down, with a big future tipped for the winger who can also operate in a forward role.

Nelson has trained regularly with the Arsenal first-team this season and could be set for a loan move in the next two seasons to give him some regular playing time.
