It’s a great tournament in preparation for the World Cup, we’re building momentum and it was a brilliant team performance.”
The winger won the golden boot with a tally of three goals in the tournament. Kelly found the target in the opening game against Korea Republic and then netted two in England’s triumphant 6-1 win over Belgium.
