Watch Tottenham’s Archie Gray scoop Man of the Match with fine goal for England U21

1 hour ago 24

Archie Gray took his impressive Tottenham form into international football this week, finding the back of the net for England’s Under-21s in their win over Moldova on Tuesday.

Gray has come of age for Tottenham recently, having arguably been the club’s most consistent performer over recent months.

The 20-year-old has stepped up and showcased his leadership qualities at a time of crisis, while some of the club’s senior stars have failed to do what is expected of them.

In fact, Gray has spoken like a captain at times recently, calling on his teammates to accept responsibility for the poor results and guide the club to safety.

The Leeds academy graduate ran the show in the middle of the park for Lee Carsley’s side on Tuesday as they thrashed Moldova U21s 4-1 in a UEFA Euro U21 qualification clash.

Gray found the back of the net just past the hour mark to put the home side 2-0 up at Carrow Road, with it being his second strike in what was his 17th appearance for the Young Lions, who strengthened their position at the top of Group D.

The ball fell to the Tottenham Hotspur man inside the box after an initial effort was blocked, with the midfielder powerfully stroking it into the back of the net.

Gray delivered an all-round performance in midfield, showing his class on the ball while also putting out fires in front of the defence, with the youngster earning the Man of the Match award for his display.
