WATCH: Anthony Elanga's assist as Sweden beat Amar Dedic's Bosnia

Anthony Elanga registered an early assist as Sweden edged out Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-2 at the Strawberry Arena last night. 

Our winger played 61 minutes on the right before being substituted, while Newcastle teammate Amar Dedic completed the full 90 minutes at right-back for Bosnia.

The result sends Sweden top of their group, five points clear of Bosnia in second.

Elanga grabs assist in Sweden win

Elanga made an immediate impact, setting up Sweden’s opener just five minutes into the game.

The 24-year-old delivered a cross from the right, which Daniel Svensson turned home to give the hosts an early lead after five minutes.

Elanga continued on the right wing for another 56 minutes before making way, while Dedic remained on the pitch throughout as Bosnia were edged out in a five-goal contest.

It was another positive contribution from Elanga, who is “120% fit” and looking to regain momentum after his recent return from injury.

A productive break so far

There have been plenty of encouraging moments for our players during the international break, with several making important contributions for their countries.

Yoane Wissa has found the net for DR Congo, while Elanga and Sean Steur have both registered assists.

Dan Burn and Lewis Hall have each enjoyed a win and played 90 minutes for England, with Malick Thiaw also completing the full match in victory for Germany.

There was also a special milestone for Newcastle youngster Sean Neave, who made his England U20 debut.

With goals, assists, full 90-minute appearances and a first international milestone, it has been a productive period for several members of our squad.
