Hat-trick Hugo creitike spoiled the return of Lee Carsley as the U21 English coach, while France beat his team of 10 people 5-3 in Lorient.
James McATEE achieved a quick opener, but the leadership of England was temporary and the goals of Quentin Merlin and the creitike turned things.
Harvey Elliott straightened, but teams, who has 13 goals for Bundesliga Club Eintracht Frankfurt this season, got two more before Header Liam Delap scored 4-3.
However, Rayan Cherrki – who provided two assists – went into the act to seal the victory after Elliott blew up a sentence over the bar.
The bad night for visitors was limited when Omari Hutchinson got off the bench and showed him a straight red card for a dangerous accessory on Thier Barry.
England broke into the lead after just 90 seconds of kindly processed routine. Elliott’s corner was transferred by Delap, and the unmarked McATEe was well positioned to break home from close brows.
However, the leadership of England was short -lived and they were caught sleeping from re -launch while the hosts equalized in the fourth minute. Cherrkin drilled precisely for the first time a passage on the path of the rise of left -back Merlin, who gave up the marker and ended up in a far corner.
It was 2-1 to the host three minutes later, when Lyon’s cherks continued his fine creative account with an engineering passage over the defense, which he ended up over James Beadle.
He scored 3-1 in the 35th minute when he got a decisive touch after Wilson Odobert beat Rica Lewis from the outside and broke the ball over the box, only to pull Elliot a goal two minutes later with a close range after good work by Elliot Anderson and McAtee.
The English trembling defense was again violated for 10 minutes in the second half, as the teams claimed its hat-trick with another touch.
But Delap started from six meters just an hour and, when Lewis was failed in the area, they had a level. However, Elliott’s punishment was well over the bar.
Cherrkin finished scoring with the remaining 14 minutes with shot through Beadle’s legs, before Hutchinson saw a red five minutes.
