​Arsenal striker Nkeitah equals Shearer record with England U21s

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has equalled the record of Alan Shearer for the England under-21 team.

He managed his 13th goal for the under-21s during a 3-3 draw against Andorra.

It is a goal that has put him level with Shearer and Trevor Francis as the highest scorers at that level for England.

The 21-year-old will be with the team as they face Turkey on Tuesday, and will be hoping to make his mark as the top scorer for the England under-21s of all time.

Nketiah has excelled for Arsenal this season, and the striker will be eager to make the step up to the England senior squad in the near future.

He is often picked for Arsenal ahead of more experienced striker Alexandre Lacazette.
