Chelsea starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi netted a brace as England Under-21’s defeated Austria.

The 18-year-old gave England their opener against Austria with a fine volley, he found himself unmarked in the box and expertly finished off a cross from wing-back Max Aarons.

Hudson-Odoi bagged his first goal at U21 level having netted five for the U17 at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2017.

The young winger has made two senior appearances, debuting against the Czech Republic.

An Achilles injury from last April sidelined Hudson for the start of the season, though he has returned to make two appearances this term.

But unlike in-form pair Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount, returning Hudson-Odoi was not selected for the Three Lions first-team.

His opener 12 minutes in was improved on the 28th minute after Eddie Nketiah converted from a corner.

The Arsenal striker, on loan at Leeds, then flicked home another header to make it 3-0.
