Zav on target (including highlights)

Zavon Hines marked his England under 21 debut with a brace as Stuart Pearce's charges hammered Macedonia 6-3 in Coventry.

The young Hammers striker, who had formerly featured as an unused substitute for Jamaica made his England debut as a second half substitute for Theo Walcott.

20-year-old Hines notched his first goal on 67 minutes before adding a second in the final minute as Pearce's side evetually thrashed their oppenents - despite being held 2-2 and 3-3 during the game.

Hines' first was reminiscent of the goal he scored against Beijing Guoan on the China tour this summer; having been sent through on goal by Cleverley, he bided his time before slipping the ball between goalkeeper Naumovski's legs. His second was a more conventional finish having been teed up by Newcastle's Andy Carroll who also notched a brace.

Hines' West Ham team mate James Tomkins played a full 90 minutes whilst Junior Stanislas was an unused substitute. You can see extended highlights of the game here.

England under 21s: Loach, Richards (c), Gibbs, Rodwell, Tomkins, Mancienne, Cleverley, Wilshere, Carroll (Welbeck 90), Walcott (Hines 46), Rose (Muamba 69).
