Sheffield United’s Sydie Peck is dazzling in the England Under-20s

Sheffield United midfielder Sydie Peck made her international debut for England Under-20s in their 4-0 win over Germany on Friday.

The 20-year-old was called up for the first time after Blade Oliver Arblaster was forced to withdraw with a knee injury and made a big impression, scoring his first international goal with a header from a set-piece.

Peck also played a heavy part in the other two goals, seeing his shot headed goalwards by Max Dean for England’s second goal and providing a headed assist for Will Lankshear to score the fourth goal.

Meanwhile, on-loan winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi made his debut for the England Under-21 National Team in the 0-0 draw against Spain on Friday.

Australia’s World Cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia on Thursday also ended goalless as Blades defender Harry Souttar helped the Socceroos keep a clean sheet. Souttar’s Australia team will visit Bahrain in their next qualifier on Tuesday.
