England U17s opened their World Cup campaign with a stunning 10-0 thrashing of New Caledonia in Indonesia. Starlets from Arsenal and Chelsea shone in the big victory, which puts the Young Lions in a healthy position in Group C.<\/p>\n

Ryan Garry\u2019s side are among the favourites to win the competition and began their campaign with a thumping triumph. New Caledonia are playing in their first World Cup at any level and suffered a day to forget on their tournament debut.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s Reiss Russell-Denny opened the scoring from the penalty spot against the Oceanian outfit, who were reduced to 10 men early in the second half. The floodgates then opened with England 4-0 ahead at half-time.<\/p>\n

There were two goals from Manchester City striker Justin Oboavwoduo and another from Tyler Dibling. Highly-rated Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong also got on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n

Sam Amo-Ameyaw and Ethan Nwaneri, Arsenal\u2019s youngest-ever player, both scored midway through the second half. A late flurry of goals in the final 10 minutes saw England score through an own goal, Harrison Murray-Campbell and Finley McAllister.<\/p>\n

It gives England a major boost ahead of the rest of their Group C campaign. Garry\u2019s team play Iran and then tournament favourites Brazil.<\/p>\n

The U17 World Cup has provided the perfect platform to many current Three Lions stars. A golden generation of England talent won the tournament in 2017.<\/p>\n

That side, managed by now-Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper, consisted of Jadon Sancho, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Phil Foden, Conor Gallagher, Marc Guehi and Morgan Gibbs-White.<\/p>\n
