Under 20 World Cup: England demolish Argentina 3-0

England began their Under-20 World Cup campaign in South Korea with a 3-0 victory over an Argentina side reduced to 10 men after the intervention of a video assistant referee.

Lautaro Martinez was sent off after the video assistant spotted him elbowing Fikayo Tomori and alerted the referee.

Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed the opener, Newcastle’s Adam Armstrong added a second and Chelsea’s Dominic Solanke scored a late penalty.

It was a first finals win since 1997.

Paul Simpson’s side now face Guinea on Tuesday before a game against hosts South Korea next Friday.

“The difference between the two teams was that we were outstanding in both 18-yard boxes,” he said.

“It’s not just about possession, it’s about taking your chances and doing the other side of it as well.”

Video reviews are being trialled at this competition, and may be introduced in some competitions in England next season.

They have previously been used to correct two wrong decisions as Spain beat France in a friendly in Paris in March, as well as in domestic leagues.

Last September, Willem’s Anouar Kali was the first player to be shown a red card on the advice of a video referee in a Dutch Cup contest against Ajax, BBC reports.
