England Under-21s qualified for next summer's European Championships with a resounding 7-0 win over Andorra.

Needing just one point from their final two games ahead of kick-off, the Young Lions made the perfect start through Ademola Lookman after just eight minutes.

Andorra were unable to handle their opponents, who handed Manchester City's Phil Foden a debut, throughout and found themselves three goals down before half-time after strikes from Ezri Konsa and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Calvert-Lewin added a fourth from the penalty spot within minutes of the restart. Dominic Solanke, on as a substitute, completed the rout with two goals either side of a clever finish from Reiss Nelson.

The Young Lions now face Scotland Under-21s next Tuesday. Scott Gemmill's side still have an outside chance of qualifying as they vie with Ukraine and Netherlands for a second-place finish.

England will find out their group stage opponents from next summer's tournament, jointly hosted by Italy and San Marino, in the draw on November 23.
