Brewster tripled his goal tally for the Young Lions in Pescara as Lee Carsley’s side began their countdown to Euro 2023.
Rhian Brewster’s quickfire double earned England Under-21s an impressive 2-0 friendly win in Italy.
Skipper Nicolo Rovella was sent off for Italy late on after collecting two yellow cards as England cruised to victory. Conor Gallagher was taken out by Edoardo Bove after just a minute and Brewster stepped up to give the visitors the lead from the penalty spot. Andrea Cambiaso headed over before Chelsea’s Gallagher was denied a third after 15 minutes when Caleb Okoli produced an excellent block.
The hosts tried to recover and Lorenzo Colombo fired over early in the second half but England restricted them to speculative efforts.
