Dutch-born Ghanaian international Brian Brobbey struck twice on Monday as the Dutch National Under 17 team thrashed England 5-2 to seal a place in the quarter finals of the 2019 European Under 17 championship.
The Ajax prodigy was the hero of the day at the Tolka Park as he scored the equalizer for his side on the 10th minute after Taylor Harwood-Bellis had put the Young Three Lions ahead three minutes earlier.
The striker who has been tipped to be the next Lukaku have increased his tally to two before recess but his ferocious drive from outside the penalty box hit the post.
With the game at 3-2, Brobbey scored his second of the day from the spot on the 58th minute after an English player had handled a goal bound shot.
Naci Unuver made it 5-2 for the Dutch in the 61st minute as they qualified to the last eight of the competition.
Brobbey is the younger brother of Almere City star Kelvin Luckassen and Hertha Berlin defender Derrick Luckassen.
