JAKARTA - Teen winger Bukayo Saka scored his first England goal on Thursday as Gareth Southgate's side won 1-0 against Austria in a warm-up game ahead of Euro 2020.
After a mediocre first half watched by 7,000 at the Riverside Stadium in Middlesbrough, the 19-year-old ended the deadlock in the 56th minute by scoring from a tight angle.
Another step closer to #EURO2020! 👊

Southgate rested Manchester City and Chelsea's players after their Champions League final in Portugal last weekend, while Jesse Lingard started just a day after being dropped from the final squad.
It was also the first senior appearance for Borussia Dortmund's 17-year-old midfielder Jude Bellingham, while Brighton & Hove Albion defender Ben White recorded his first cap with the national team as a substitute in the 71st minute.
