Smith Rowe on target again as England U21 advance

Emile Smith Rowe netted his second goal in as many games to help England beat Israel 2-0 and book a place in the knockout stages of the U21 European Championships.

Unlike in the opening match against the Czech Republic, Emile was handed a start by boss Lee Carsley and he would play 70 minutes in Kutaisi, Georgia, departing just two minutes after firing his side into a healthy lead and netting in successive games.

He had the ball in the net after just three minutes when he finished off a neat move but saw it ruled out for offside, however 12 minutes later Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon put the Three Lions ahead when he headed in a Morgan Gibbs-White cross.
