Hammers pair hold Brazil

West Ham United youngsters Reece Oxford and Jahmal Hector-Ingram helped England U17s snatch a dramatic 2-2 draw with Brazil at the Nike International Tournament on Sunday.

Centre-back Oxford captained the Young Lions, while forward Hector-Ingram appeared as a late substitute as England snatched a last-minute equaliser in Sarasota, Florida.

A rollercoaster game saw Oxford blaze a chance over the crossbar before John Peacock's side took the lead two minutes before half-time thanks to Leicester City's Layton Ndukwu.

However, it all looked to be going wrong for England when Liverpool full-back Trent Arnold was sent-off with eight minutes to go. Brazil took full advantage by scoring twice in the space of four minutes through Leo Dos Santos and Evander Ferreira.

Peacock threw on Hector-Ingram in search of an unlikely equaliser and was rewarded in the final minute when a corner was laid back to Liverpool midfielder Adam Phillips, who curled an unstoppable shot into the top corner.

England, who lost 3-1 to hosts the United States in their opening match on Friday, play their third and final match against Australia on Tuesday.

Oxford and Hector-Ingram will hope to feature when England continue their UEFA European U17 Championship qualifying campaign with the Elite Round, which will take place in the spring.
