Liverpool whizkid Rhian Brewster floating as hat-trick fires England into U17 WC final

Liverpool whizkid Rhian Brewster was floating after his U17 World Cup hat-trick against Brazil.

He played a crucial part as England booked their place in the Under-17 World Cup final - scoring a hat-trick as his side beat Brazil 3-1 in Kolkata.

The 17-year-old followed up his treble against USA in the quarter-finals with another match-winning contribution for Steve Cooper's side and, as a result, Brewster is on course to claim the Golden Boot - as he's the top goal-scorer in the tournament with seven goals.

Like Reds teammate Dominic Solanke and Arsenal whizkid Eddie Nketiah, Brewster is a former Chelsea junior. Solanke won the U20 World Cup with England this summer and also was name the tournament's Ballon d'Or.
