Jesurun Rak-Sakyi scored on his England U-20 debut
English-born Ghanaian teen, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi scored on his England U-20 debut as the young lions thumped Romanian in a friendly at the St Georges Park.
The Crystal Palace winger earned his first call up under new U-20 coach Andy Edwards and made sure he left a mark on his debut after netting England’s sixth goal in their big win over Romania.
The young three lions have been camping at the English national football centre since the international break.
England went into the break with goals from Clinton Mola and James McAtee.
Joe Gelhardt extended the lead right after the break but Romania pulled one back through Darius Ghindovean.
Jensen Weir restored the three-goal lead before Gelhardt added his second of the day.
Jesurun then sealed victory late in the game as England recorded a 6-1 win.
The 18-year-old made his English Premier League debut for Crystal Palace in their defeat to Chelsea on opening day.
Even though he has played for England at youth level, he can still play for Ghana, the country of his parents at senior level.
