Arsenal forward Chris Willock scored twice to help England round off their European Under-19 Championship Elite Round qualifying campaign in style with a 5-1 victory over Belarus.
But the visitors' lead did not last long as Manchester City duo Lukas Nmecha and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts fired the Young Lions in front midway through the first half.
England ran riot after the break with Tottenham prospect Marcus Edwards, who has been likened to Lionel Messi by Mauricio Pochettino, on hand to extend their comfortable lead.
Willock, who is yet to make a senior appearance for Arsene Wenger's side, rounded off the emphatic win with a well-taken brace late on.
England's victory guaranteed top spot in Group 3 courtesy of a 100 per cent record.
