Scott linked up with Noni Madueke for England’s opening goal on 23 minutes, and later his corner set up Samuel Iling-Junior’s second, and England's sixth, on 72.

England led 2-0 at half time thanks to goals from Madueke and Iling-Junior before the floodgates opened in the second half through the pair again, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Morgan Rogers.

England are second in Group F, level on points with Ukraine who they lost to in October.

The winners of the nine groups will automatically go through as well as the best three runners-up.

Scott has represented England at U18, U19 and U20 level before making his U21 debut as a second-half substitute in a 5-1 away win against Azerbaijan last week.

England continue their U21 campaign away against Northern Ireland on Friday 6 September.
