Ravel Morrison soured his impeccable performance for England Under-21s by going head-to-head with fellow starlet Wilfried Zaha in the 5-0 thumping of Lithuania.

Morrison opened the scoring for the Young Lions inside two minutes, and capped off his performance with another wonder goal after a mazy dribble through the visitors' defence.

However, after Saido Berahino scored from the penalty spot for his second of the evening, Morrison appeared incensed at not being given the chance to complete his hat-trick.

After a free-kick was headed wide by John Stones, Manchester United winger Zaha confronted Morrison, and the two started pushing and shoving each other.

Morrison thrusted his arm in his team-mate's face, and it was left to substitute Nathan Redmond to act as peacemaker, breaking up the confrontation between the two young stars.

James Ward-Prowse scored the other goal for Gareth Southgate's side in a comfortable victory to put them second in the Under-21 Euro 2015 Qualifying Group 1.

Morrison didn't speak about the incident after the game, instead focusing on his latest incredible goal.

‘I can't remember it, I've not seen it back yet to be honest,' he said.

‘I just thought I might as well drive it in because I drove it in before when I should have got my shot off but it got intercepted.

‘I thought I might as well chance this one and try and break through the lines and that's what I did.’

to be honest, I like to see this. it means that it means something to them. I know at the DM you are all on a downer because your ARRY didn't lead England to the WC, but football is a game of immense passion from the parks to the pitches, and it creates these types of incidents. After the game, I'm sure they will have shaken hands and mocked each other for this. Try harder to denigrate England please.
