A hat-trick from Mads Ditmer Hvilsom helped Denmark to an impressive 4-0 win against Norway in the sides' opening Group 4 match of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship Elite round.
Hvilsom treble
Hvilsom gave his side the lead after just eleven minutes in Soustons, France, and opened up a two-goal advantage with another in the 32nd minute. The FC Midtjylland forward sealed his treble soon after the restart before Odense BK's Rasmus Falk Jensen made it 4-0 with 16 minutes remaining. Denmark coach Thomas Frank said: "It was the way we won which was particularly impressive. We moved the ball all the time and created a lot, which bodes well for the future of Danish football."
