Jacob Ramsey put in a Man of the Match display as England got their Under-21 European Championship campaign off to the perfect start.

The midfielder scored the opening goal in a 2-0 win against the Czech Republic in Georgia on Thursday evening.

After a goalless first half, Ramsey struck two minutes after the restart before Emile Smith Rowe wrapped up the win, with fellow Villan Cameron Archer notching an assist.

Archer came on for the final 11 minutes of the match while Ramsey played the full 90 minutes.

The Three Lions face Israel in their next group match on Sunday (ko 5pm).
