The Chelsea winger was deployed on the left flank for Ukraine and caused the North Macedonian defence all manner of problems with his direct running, with Ukraine running out victorious thanks to goals in each half from Heorhiy Sudakov and Oleksandr Karavayev.

The result sees Ukraine locked with Italy on 10 points in Group C and in third place, three points behind leaders England.

Earlier on Saturday, Chelsea duo Harrison Murray Campbell and Reiss Denny both came off the bench to help England Under-18s defeat Morocco 1-0 in Marbella.

Fellow Blues Josh Acheampong, Ishe Samuels Smith, Jimmy Jay Morgan and Ted Curd were all unused substitutes for the Young Lions.
