Bristol Rovers' on-loan defender Jarell Quansah played the full 90 minutes and kept a clean sheet as England under-20s beat their German counterparts 2-0 in Manchester on Wednesday.
Liverpool prospect Quansah played in the heart of Ian Foster's defence at the Manchester City Academy Stadium as the Young Lions showed their class ahead of this summer's FIFA Uunder-20 World Cup in Indonesia.
The game showcased what might have been for Joey Barton and the Gas, with Quansah paired in defence with Chelsea prospect Bashir Humphreys. The Gas were hopeful of signing the defender in the closing stages of the January transfer window only to be gazumped by German second-tier side SC Paderborn.
