Ademola Lookman embarrased England U21 boss Aidy Boothroyd in training on Wednesday
With the crunch tie coming up the U21 boss seemed eager to up the tempo in their preparations and decided to take part in a rondo pressing drill.
The former defender tried to roll back the years as he ran around the small circle enthusiastically trying to win the ball back.
But he was made to pay. Lookman left the former Watford boss red-faced after he, rather expertly, received the ball and dragged it around in one movement to nutmeg him.

It was all too much for the Everton man as he immediately ran off holding his face laughing after rinsing his own manager.
Despite that brief moment on Wednesday, where Boothroyd would have wanted the ground to have opened up and swallowed him whole, the U21 boss has enjoyed a positive year at the helm.
He lead the side to a semi-final at the European Championships earlier this summer before losing on penalties to Germany and since then his side have not tasted defeat.
Boothroyd will be eager to finish the last fixture of the year on a high against Ukraine, as a victory could put them in the ascendancy seat for automatic qualification.
