Arsenal’s Nketiah equals Shearer and Jeffers England record

Thanks to his effort against Eloy Casals’ team, the Anglo-Ghanaian is now on level terms with the duo as the Young Lions’ all-time top scorer

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah joined Alan Shearer and Francis Jeffers as the England U21 top scorer of all time with his 13th strike on Wednesday.

The youngster found the net 10 minutes after replacing Sam Surridge in the 3-3 draw versus Andorra in a Uefa U21 Championship game staged at Estadi Nacional.

With the six-goal thriller tied at 2-2, the Gunners’ forward put the Young Lions in front eight minutes from full time after a one-two touch with Eberechi Eze. In the process, he joined Shearer and Jeffers in the hallowed ranks.
