FATV Match Highlights - England won their first game of The FA International U17 Tournament with a convincing 4-0 win over Australia in Grimsby tonight to leapfrog Portugal at the top of the group. Goals from Matthias Fanimo, Courtney Meppen Walters, Raheem Sterling and Nick Powell secured victory for John Peacock's team and all four strikes were memorable. A healthy crowd of more than 2000 got behind the England youngsters from the start and the home team had an early chance to test their Antipodean visitors when Fanimo tried his luck with a shot from distance that rose just too high over the bar a few minutes in. It's now perfectly set up for final game against Portugal, who lost 3-2 to Turkey earlier in the day, in Scunthorpe on Sunday. England U17: Garrett, Regan (Plummer 56), Cousins (Clayton 46), Magri, Chalobah (Powell 46), Hendrie, Caskey (Cotton 56), Walters, Morgan (Hope 64), Fanimo (Sterling 46), Henshall.

Australia U17: Tibbles, Monaco, Chapman, Morton (Gallifuoco 80), Brown, Perkatis, Espindola (Degenek 46), Boahene (Melling 56), Proia, Patterson, Tombides (Makarounas 46).
