Adam Morgan and Jack Dunn both found the net as England warmed up for the U17 World Cup with a 5-4 friendly win over the Ivory Coast.
The Young Lions warmed up for Sunday's opening World Cup match with Rwanda by coming back from 4-2 down to win in a behind closed doors friendly.
England had gone 2-0 up but Ivory Coast stormed back to turn the game around in the second half to lead 4-2.
However, inspired by two of Kirkby's finest scholars England regained their advantage.
Morgan netted a penalty and Dunn grabbed the winner with a blistering drive to win it 5-4.
Morgan and Dunn are joined in John Peacock's squad by right winger Raheem Sterling, left-back Brad Smith, goalkeeper Tyrell Belford and centre-back Matty Regan.
Left-back Tom King will also be at the tournament having been called-up by Australia.
The U17 World Cup kicks-off on June 18 and the final is in Mexico City on July 10.
England begins their campaign on Sunday, June 19 when they take on Rwanda. Also in the group are Uruguay and Canada.
