Nicky Hunt played the first half of the England U21 friendly win over Ukraine at the Riverside Stadium last night.
The Bolton Wanderers defender had a hand in the first goal supplying the pass to Arsenal winger Jermaine Pennant who in turn crossed for Carlton Cole to open the scoring - the first of two opening half goals by the Aston Villa man.
Hunt despite putting on an impressive performance in the first period came off at half time and was replaced by Justin Hoyte of Arsenal. Ukraine pulled a goal back but substitute Darren Bent of Ipswich Town secured the win in injury time to make the scoreline 3-1 to young England.
