More than 7,000 watched as England under-21s beat Lithuania 3-0 at the Weston Homes Community Stadium this afternoon.
Danny Welbeck scored twice and Marc Albrighton was also on target in the victory, which books the Young Lions' place in the play-offs for next year's European Championships in Denmark.
It is the third time an England international match has been held at the Community Stadium since its inception in 2008.
