Nwaneri reaches Euro U21 final with England

Ethan Nwaneri came on as a substitute to help England reach the Euro U21 final by beating Netherlands 2-1 in Slovakia.

The defending champions reached back-to-back finals courtesy of two superb goals from Harvey Elliott. The midfielder opened the scoring on 62 minutes before Noah Ohio levelled for Jong Oranje.

Ethan was introduced on 83 minutes and just two minutes later, Lee Carlsey's side had their winner as Elliott drifted past two players before finding the bottom corner.

The Young Lions will now face Germany in the final at Tehelné Pole on Saturday, looking to become the first nation since Spain (2011 and 2013) to win back-to-back European U21 Championship titles.
