England U21 brace for Chelsea midfielder Loftus-Cheek

Ruben Loftus-Cheek was one of the stars of the show as the England U21 team beat Denmark U21 on Monday evening.

The Chelsea midfielder scored a double for Aidy Boothroyd's side in a 4-0 friendly victory in Randers.

Loftus-Cheek opened the scoring on 10 minutes before Brighton & Hove Albion's Solly March added a second five minutes later.

Cauley Woodrow, on loan at Burton Albion from Fulham, made it 3-0 just after the hour-mark before Loftus-Cheek wrapped it up with 20 minutes remaining.

Boothroyd and his squad will next meet up in May for a series of training camps ahead of the 2017 UEFA U17 European Championships in Poland.
