Ipswich Town: Omari Hutchinson stars for England U21s during international break and goalkeeper Aro Muric keeps Kosovo clean sheet

An Ipswich Town attacker produced an impressive performance off the bench on international duty while a goalkeeper kept a clean sheet in the Nations League.

Omari Hutchinson bagged his first England U21s goal and assisted three more as the Young Lions smashed Azerbaijan 7-0 in their final European Championship qualifier.

The former Chelsea man came off the bench in a wide right role in the 61st minute to win his second U21s cap.

Liam Delap, Town’s top goalscorer this season in the Premier League, missed the game as he was suspended, as England finished top of their group after already securing qualification for next summer's finals in Slovakia.

In the Nations League, Blues goalkeeper Aro Muric made his 40th appearance for Kosovo as they beat Cyprus 3-0.

The positive result comes after controversy last month surrounding the shot-stopper’s expulsion from the squad for allegedly breaking team rules.

Town defender Cameron Burgess scored an own goal for Australia in a 1-1 draw with Japan in FIFA World Cup qualification.

The 28-year-old centre-back turned a cross into his own net to deny the Socceroos their second successive victory, following a 3-1 win over China on Thursday where Burgess didn’t feature.

Burgess was winning his 11th senior cap and first under new head coach Tony Popovic, who replaced Graham Arnold last month.

Ipswich Town’s Jack Taylor spoke of his pride after making his long-awaited international debut for the Republic of Ireland while Blues team-mate Nathan Broadhead got back on the pitch for Wales for his first competitive minutes of the season.

London-born central midfielder Taylor described the moment he made his bow for the country of his County Longford-born grandfather as ‘an incredibly proud moment’.
