Aston Villa right-back Matty Cash has scored his first international goal for Poland.

The right-back, who is of Polish descent through his mother, gained citizenship last year and made his debut for the Eastern European nation last November.

A passionate celebration followed the full-back's strike in Rotterdam and he helped his new international team shut out the Dutch in a goalless first half at Feyernoord's De Kuip stadium.
