England U17s who thrashed Germany
- Updated: October 4, 2016
England’s senior team might have been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently, but the Under-17s showed the future might be bright by thumping Germany 8-1 on Monday.
Among the scorers in the Croatia Cup rout were Liverpool’s Rhian Brewster, Chelsea’s George McEachran, Phil Foden of Manchester City and Manchester United’s Angel Gomes.

Defender: Brooklyn Lyons-Foster (Tottenham, 15 years old)
Lyons-Foster recently scored as England U17s beat Belgium in a friendly. He played the first half of the win over Germany and is the younger brother of Kodi, who has played for Spurs and Aston Villa as a youngster.

A tall centre-back who is composed on the ball, Latibeaudiere was part of the City side that finished runners-up in the FA Youth Cup last season. He was named man of the match as City beat Manchester United 2-0 in the U18 Premier League in September.
Defender: Jonathan Panzo (Chelsea, 15 years old)
