Divin Mubama (left) joined Manchester City from West Ham in 2024 Manchester City forward Divin Mubama scored twice as England Under-21s made it two wins from two games at the start of qualification for the 2027 European Championship finals. Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens opened the scoring, cutting in from the left flank and beating Moldova goalkeeper Victor Dodon at his near post with a powerful shot. Mubama, on loan at Stoke City, doubled the Three Lions' lead when he latched on to Ethan Nwaneri's through ball and fired past Dodon. The 20-year-old had his second four minutes later, sending a penalty into the bottom left corner after Fulham midfielder Josh King was brought down in the box. Manchester City full-back Rico Lewis, who already has five caps for the senior side, scored his first goal for the England youngsters when he powered in a fine late effort.
