Nelson, who broke into the Arsenal first team last season, is currently out on loan at German outfit TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, where he has scored two goals in three Bundesliga appearances.

The 18-year-old has featured in the Champions League for Hoffenheim and he's playing even better for the England U21 team.

Nelson was one of the stars on show at Tynecastle on Tuesday, and he lived up to the billing with a brilliant performance for the Young Lions.

And it was Nelson who broke the deadlock for Aidy Boothroyd's team with a stunning long-range set-piece.

The teenager stepped up from 30 yards to produce a lovely curling strike into the top corner beyond Scotland goalkeeper Ross Doohan.

England went on to win 2-0 after a late goal from Everton youngster Kieran Dowell.
