WEST HAM youngster Robert Hall came off the bench to score two goals for the England under-17s side on Monday in Azerbaijan.
The 16-year-old prospect helped England to a 6-2 victory over Kazakhstan in their opening match in the four-team qualifying group for next year's European under-17 Championship.
Hall came on just after the hour and took just four minutes to open his account, before adding a second.
He will hope to have secured a starting place for today's (Wednesday's) clash with hosts Azerbaijan, before they round off their group matches against Serbia on Saturday.
