Captain Scarlett scores again for England's Elite League Squad

Wearing the captain's armband, Dane Scarlett's fine form on the international scene continues at pace as he once again scored in an England shirt.

For the 11th time in as many games while representing England's Under-21 and the England Elite League squad, the forward found the back of the net as he struck the opener for the Elite Squad in a 1-1 draw with Portugal on Friday afternoon.

At a rain-soddened Magalhães Pessoa Stadium in Leiria, Portugal, Dane was in the right place at the right time to guide home from close range with seven minutes on the clock.

That was the striker's ninth goal in his last seven appearances for what were formerly England's Under-20s.

Diogo Monteiro levelled for hosts Portugal on 32 minutes with Dane, on his 21st appearance at that level, being substituted on the hour mark.

Ashley Phillips played the full 90 minutes, picking up his fourth cap at that level.
