Tottenham Hotspur’s Kyle Walker-Peters featured for England U21’s last night.

The international break is coming to an end, and England Under-21’s saw their unbeaten run end on Tuesday night against Germany.

Having drawn with 1-1 with Poland on Thursday night, Aidy Boothroyd’s side took on Germany on Tuesday night, but saw their 16-game unbeaten run come to an end.

Borussia Dortmund’s Mahmoud Dahoud opened the scoring for Germany, before Bournemouth hitman Dominic Solanke fittingly equalised at the Vitality Stadium.

The second half was a closely-fought encounter, but Germany claimed the win in the dying embers as Felix Uduokhai struck to snatch the victory.

England’s incredible run ending was a major disappointment, but Boothroyd will acknowledge that this was a major test given that he named a rotated side.

One of the players brought in was right back Kyle Walker-Peters, coming in for Jonjoe Kenny in the England defence, but he didn’t exactly enjoy his night.

Walker-Peters didn’t impress and then suffered an injury late on, and whilst he was down injured, Germany played on and scored to win the game.

Fans – both neutral and those of a Tottenham persuasion – took to Twitter to criticise Walker-Peters, feeling he was ‘very poor’ and showed he’s ‘miles off’ a first-team place at Spurs, with neutrals noting he is error-prone and lightweight.
