He has also featured regularly for the Under-23s, making 10 Premier League 2 appearances and scoring twice.

Khayon Edwards opened the scoring for Ken Gillard’s charges in the ninth minute, before Taylor-Hart doubled the visitors’ lead on 33 minutes.

Miguel Azeez made it three with a superb long-range effort just before half time, and Brooke Norton-Cuffy rounded off the scoring late on.
