Moore Makes England Under-18s Debut

After a bright start, the Young Lions went behind against the run of play on eight minutes, as Russian skipper Georgi Melkadze capitalised on a loose pass to fire in an unstoppable effort. 

Moore did well to meet a Luke Amos free kick in the first half as England increased the pressure, but he saw his powerful header saved by the Russian goalkeeper. 

Liverpool’s Sheyi Ojo then won and converted a penalty in the final 10 minutes to seemingly salvage a deserved draw, but Russia’s Poliboy Arinov scrambled the ball home from a corner deep into stoppage time to earn his nation the victory. 

Having been involved with the Club since the age of since and joining the youth ranks at the age of nine, Moore is just one of a long line of promising youngsters to have their Club form rewarded with recognition at international level. 

The likes of Ben Chilwell, Layton Ndukwu, Darnell Johnson and Admiral Muskwe are just a few names from City’s talented Under-18s group to have represented their countries in recent times. 

Despite defeat for Moore and England on this occasion, there were plenty of positives to take from what will have been another great experience from an impressive season for the youngster.
