Gunners duo help England reach U17 World Cup

Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly helped England beat Switzerland at the U17 European Championships to secure their spot at the U17 World Cup later this year.

The Three Lions put the disappointment of being knocked out of the tournament by France at the quarter-final stage to rally again for their World Cup play-off against the Swiss, and a second-half recovery, aided by the introduction of Myles from the bench, saw them gain the crucial win.

The sides had gone into the break level at 1-1, but after Switzerland skipper Demir Xhemalija netted a free-kick on 52 minutes, Ethan came off for Myles just after the hour mark as Ryan Garry attempted to change his side's fortunes.
