Smith Rowe assists as Young Lions make Euros final
Emile Smith Rowe provided a stunning assist in England's 3-0 win over Israel as the Young Lions reached the U21 European Championship final for the first time since 2009.
Morgan Gibbs-White kicked off proceedings with a first-half header after missing a penalty in the opening 20 minutes. England held onto their slender lead into the second half and just after the hour mark, it was time to double their advantage.
Smith Rowe picked the ball up in the middle of Israel's half, turned quickly and laid the ball off to Gibbs-White. The attacking pair sped towards goal, exchanging a series of stylish one-twos before Smith Rowe picked out Man City's Cole Palmer at the back post to make it 2-0.
