Two England Under-19 players settled an argument over who would take a penalty kick with a game of rock-paper-scissors.

Leading 1-0 against Japan, the U19s were awarded a spot-kick at the City of Manchester Academy Stadium.

But manager Aidy Boothroyd obviously hadn't designated a taker as Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham and Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts both stepped forward.

Rather than argue over who was the taker the pair played the schoolground game to pick a winner.

Abraham was the winner - although it's impossible to see what he picked to win - but actually saw his effort saved by goalkeeper Ryosuke Kojima.

It didn't have an effect on the outcome, however, with Roberts scoring the second and Abraham scoring two.

England went on to win 5-1.
