Hatters youngster Johnson wins second England U18s cap in Morocco victory

Town youngster Joe Johnson came off the bench as England U18s picked up a 1-0 victory over Morocco U18s in Marbella on Saturday.

The teenager, who had started the 1-1 draw against Belgium on Wednesday, was among the substitutes for the contest at the Marbella Football Centre, as head coach Ryan Garry made 10 changes to his side.

The Young Lions made a quick start to the match, moving in front after just 10 minutes, Newcastle United’s Anthony Munda crossing for Southampton's Samuel Amo-Ameyaw to find the net at the near post.

After the break, Garry made a host of changes which included Johnson winning his second cap when replacing another Southampton player in Jayden Meghoma for the final 20 minutes.

England’s final game sees them face Korea Republic tomorrow at 4.30pm BST.
