Young Sheffield Wednesday striker George Hirst was on fine form for England under 20's on Thursday as he bagged a hat-trick at the Toulon Tournament.

Having made a brief appearance as a substitute in England's 1-0 win over Angola earlier the week, Hirst was given his chance from the start against Cuba and took it with aplomb.

The son of Owls legend David Hirst, George scored his first to put England 2-0 up around the 20-minute mark and as the 3 Lions took control in the 2nd half he scored his second 10 minutes into the half and completed his treble from the penalty spot on 65, with England going on to earn a comprehensive 7-1 win.
