Tottenham-bound Mason Melia became the Republic of Ireland Under-21s' youngest goalscorer with a penalty in his side's 3-1 friendly win away to Hungary.

Jim Crawford's side eased to victory in Murcia thanks to the 17-year-old's history-making goal and two more from Brentford defender and debutant Conor McManus.
