Garbutt shines on U21s debut

Everton's Luke Garbutt played the full 90 minutes as England U21s beat their Wales counterparts 3-1 at Swansea's Liberty Stadium this evening to move a step closer to the European Championship Finals.

Norwich's Nathan Redmond scored a hat-trick as England retained their lead at the top of Group 1.

10 group winners and the four best runners-up will be paired off in two-legged play-offs to determine the seven sides that will join hosts the Czech Republic in the finals next month.

Garbutt, who made one senior appearance for Everton in the Premier League last month, had an outstanding game at left back in his first U21s appearance, evoking comparisons with Leighton Baines.

The Blues' other potential participant, John Stones, was not involved due to his involvement in the senior England team's training camp in Portugal. The 19-year-old is on standby for Manchester United defender Phil Jones for the World Cup in Brazil.
