Blues Defender On Target For England

Last updated : 02 May 2007 By Brian Cartlidge

The young Blues defender netted his first goal at international level just four minutes into the match in Belgium.

"We had worked on our set-plays," England coach John Peacock told the FA's official website.

"We thought they might be vulnerable at the back post. It's Krystian's first goal for England - I'm delighted for him."

Peacock's side went on to win the game 2-0 - Leeds United striker Danny Rose scoring England's second on 24 minutes.

The England under 17's take-on Belgium on Friday and a win against the hosts will take them a step closer to a place at the World Championships in Korea.
