Internationals | Upson scores on debut for England Under-18s

Fri 10 October 2025, 08:08|Tottenham Hotspur

Young defender Elijah Upson made it an international debut to remember as he stepped off the bench to score a stoppage-time winner for England Under-18s against France on Thursday evening.

The centre-back replaced fellow Spur Jun’ai Byfield in the 63rd minute at St George’s Park to earn his first international cap – and subsequently won the game for the Young Lions with a powerful header in the 96th minute.

That proved to be the only goal of the friendly encounter, as England triumphed 1-0.

Byfield, who started, had earlier made an excellent defensive intervention to keep France at bay.

Tynan Thompson, the third of our players in the squad, came on in the 74th minute.
