England U20 1-1 Guinea U20: Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori's comical own goal costs Young Lions in FIFA Under 20 World Cup group game

England's Under 20 World Cup campaign suffered a blow after Fikayo Tomori's comical own goal gifted Guinea an unlikely point in the side's second group game on Tuesday.

The Young Lions were in control after Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook fired Paul Simpson's side ahead with a fine strike from outside the box after 53 minutes.

But England, who won their opening group game 3-0 against Argentina in South Korea, suffered a setback just six minutes later when Tomori put though his own net from fully 50 yards.
