European U21 Championship – a dramatic final.

In the final, the England U21 team defended their title. The young "lions" defeated the German players 3:2 after extra time.

In the 5th minute, team leader Harvey Elliott put the English team ahead.

In the 24th minute, Omar Hutchinson doubled the "lions'" lead.

Just before halftime, Nelson Weiper brought intrigue back into the match with his goal.

In the 61st minute, the score was equalized. Paul Nebel scored with a brilliant shot.

There were no goals during the remaining regular time, and the teams went into extra time.

The hero became Jonathan Rowe, who replaced leader H. Elliott. The "Norwich City" forward swung the score in favor of the England U21 team in the second minute of extra time.

This is the second consecutive title for Lee Carsley's pupils. Two years ago, H. Elliott also played in this team, and he is currently 22 years old as an attacking midfielder.
