Aston Villa’s Easah Suliman sent England’s Under 19 side on the path to victory in today’s U19 European Championship Final against Portugal. 🙌🙌🙌 pic.twitter.com/J0QNHoGQHw England (@England) 15 July 2017
Suliman used his head to put England ahead before Chelsea youngster Dujon Sterling unfortunately volleyed into his own net six minutes later. Manchester City striker Lukas Nmecha put us back in front and despite playing the final nine minutes with ten men after Fulham’s Tayo Edun was sent off for a second yellow, England held on for the two one victory.
With England’s under age groups seeing success recently, the Under 20s lifted the World Cup and the Toulon Tournament in June, whilst the Under 21s reached the semi finals of the European Championships in Poland – losing on penalties to Germany – and our Under 17s also reached the final of their European Championship campaign, the Under 19s become the latest to taste success, lifting their first European Championship trophy.
A great moment for the #YoungLions – now let’s hope for another one. pic.twitter.com/8AiTs6ez8N
