FIFA U-17 World Cup: England's Sancho scores brace in 4-0 win over Chile

<p>Star winger Jadon scores brace to power England to 4-0 victory at Kolkata</p>

A star-studded England lived up to their billing as star winger Jadon Sancho scored twice in a 4-0 rout of Chile in a highly entertaining group match of the FIFA U-17 World Cup here yesterday. England, the European qualifying tournament runners-up, toyed with their South American rivals with 64 per cent ball possession and Chile were at the mercy of the rampaging Young Lions forwards several times. England had as many as 21 shots at the goal out of which nine were on target as the Group 'F' match gradually turned into a one-sided one affair. Sancho struck in the 51st and 60th minutes, while Callum Hudson Odoi (5th) and Angel Gomes (81st) were the other scorers.
