Christian Walton suffered a tough comeback from injury as Albion under-21s lost 4-0 at home to Derby County today.

The England under-21 goalkeeper was beaten four times in a ten-minute spell as Mason Bennett and Spanish wide boy Ivan Calero ran riot.

Bennett scored twice and set up a tap-in for centre-forward Offrande Zanzala at Albion’s training base in Lancing.

Calero fired a fierce angled shot high into Walton’s near top corner.

All the goals came between the 63rd and 73rd minutes.

The keeper, playing his first game for the club since returning from a loan stint at Bury and recovering from a groin injury, made two saves from Bennett low down.

He also shrugged off a blow to ankle or lower leg suffered when fouled by Zanzala, who was booked.
