Sunderland midfielder included in side to face Portugal U21s

The Sunderland midfielder would have been disappointed to have not made an appearance last night after impressing in the league so far this season.

England's only goal of the night was a close range volley scored by Watford's on-loan midfielder Adam Johnson.

Portugal went ahead after 3 minutes when Vierinha slotted a penalty past Joe Hart following a cynical foul by Craig Gardner of Aston Villa.
