Although unused for the Young Lions' opener against Venezuela earlier this week - which included a start for Foxes team-mate Louis Page - Evans emerged from the bench in Qatar on Friday.

Needing a win after suffering defeat on the opening day of their Group E campaign, England's youngsters were in a ruthless mood.

Lucá Williams-Barnett opened the scoring before Reigan Heskey (son of former Fox, Emile) added a second from the spot. Franco Celeste got one back for Haiti, but it wouldn't be the start of a comeback.

With former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger - now FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development - watching on in the stands, the Young Lions turned on the style.

Reggie Walsh and Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez later found the net and Williams-Barnett got another, while Chizaram Ezenwata hit a hat-trick to confirm a big win to spark life into England's U17 World Cup bid.

As a result, they're now third in Group E, one point behind both Venezuela and Egypt after matchday two. It's the Egyptians who England face next on Monday (3:45pm kick-off).

Elsewhere in Qatar, young Foxes prospect Will Daniels will be hoping to build on his promising display for Canada in their 2-1 success over Uganda earlier this week when they tackle France on Saturday (1:30pm kick-off).
