Ebbsfleet United striker Luke Moore was on the scoresheet as England C went down to a 6-2 defeat against Bosnia & Herzegovina at the Grbavica Stadium in Sarajevo on Tuesday.

England's preparations for the match were far from perfect after the squad touched down in the Bosnian capital 24 hours late, following two abortive attempts to fly from Vienna after their original connecting flight had been cancelled.

Instead, the squad were forced to take a plane to Split in Croatia before enduring a six-hour coach journey to Sarajevo.

Moore's team-mates Lance Cronin and James Smith also featured in the starting 11 and played the full 90 minutes.

Moore netted England's first goal on 58 minutes, though by that time his side were already 4-0 down.

England's other goal was scored by Oxford's Matt Day. His goal briefly brought the England side to within two goals of their opponents before Bosnia made the game safe with two late goals.
