Tommy Simkin Starts as England's Young Elite Are Held to a Draw

The on-loan Stoke City stopper has been in fine form for the Saddlers so far this season, earning himself a place in Pat Nevin's squad, and gaining plenty of other admirers along the way.

However, unlike his time between the sticks for the Reds, he was unable to retain his clean sheet as the hosts won and converted a penalty eighteen minutes into the first-half.

England went on to level the scores late in the second-half as Blackpool's on-loan Southampton forward Dom Ballard gave the Three Lions a deserved draw on the night.

Nevin's side are next in action against Romania at Stockport County's Edgeley Park on Tuesday evening before the players return to their respective teams ahead of next weekend's games.
