England began their Under-20 World Cup campaign with a 1-0 victory over Tunisia, thanks to a first-half winner from Tottenham’s Dane Scarlett. The 19-year-old rose well to meet captain Harvey Vale’s whipped cross and head past Dries Arfaoui in Argentina. Scarlett nearly doubled his tally with another header soon after, but Arfaoui made a brilliant save. His Spurs team-mate Alfie Devine had the best chance to score after the break, but shot wide. Mohamed Dhaoui forced England and Brentford goalkeeper Matthew Cox into a smart save from an angled free-kick in the second half. England will return to La Plata on Thursday to face Uruguay in their next group game.
