Jonathan Bond won his fourth England Under-21 cap last night and kept a clean sheet as the Three Lions ended their 2015 Under-21 European Championship qualifying campaign with a 3-0 victory over Moldova.
A brace from Saido Berahino and a strike from Harry Kane secured victory for Gareth Southgate’s side.
Hornets goalkeeper Bond did have to be alert in the opening period. He parried shots from Igor Dima and Vadim Rata before diving low to save from Nicolae Milinceanu. He was rarely tested in the second half.
Watford youngster Josh Doherty made his first Northern Ireland Under-21 start against Serbia yesterday but Jim Magilton's side suffered a 4-1 defeat in Portadown.
In senior action, Matej Vydra played the final 18 minutes of the Czech Republic’s 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in their 2016 European Championship qualifier. Daniel Pudil was an unused substitute.
