Norwich City midfielder Nathan Redmond played 85 minutes in England Under-21s' 2-1 Euro2015 U21 play-off, second leg win against Croatia's U21s in Vinkovci on Tuesday night.

Gareth Southgate's Young Lions booked their place in next summer's finals in the Czech Republic after a composed display in Eastern Europe to seal a record tenth consecutive win at this level. Leading 2-1 from the first leg at Molineux last week, Leicester City centre back Liam Moore was left unmarked to volley home Tom Carroll's early corner.

The Croatians' levelled prior to the interval with Marko Livaja rolled past England captain Jack Butland but Derby midfielder Will Hughes slotted a fine angled finish from 16 yards in the 73rd minute to seal a 4-2 aggregate success and qualify for a fifth successive tournament at under-21 level.

Redmond admitted prior to the first leg he had unfinished business at the European Championship finals after being part of Stuart Pearce's squad who failed to make it out of the group stage in Israel back in 2013.

'For me, Nat Chalobah, Jack Butland and the other lads still involved, the disappointment still hurts,' he said. 'It was a very strong group that I thought had a good chance of doing well. Unfortunately for us, we didn't do that well but I think personally I had quite a good trip and came back from that tournament with good confidence.

'We got quite bad press, that we didn't really care and that some of the players didn't want to be there but that wasn't the case. I just think that tournament wasn't for us.'
