Four minutes later, the 19-year-old fired the Young Lions ahead with a magnificent shot into the corner after a fantastic run.

The young Arsenal forward sealed England’s path to the final with another fantastic goal. Nkeitah collected the ball just inside Scotland’s half of the field, ran right at his defender, and hit a fine effort into the top corner.

Aidy Boothroyd’s men will play Mexico in the final after they defeated Turkey 3-1 in the other semi-final.

Nkeitah featured 10 times for the Gunners last season.
