England are through to the European Under-21 Championship final after beating Netherlands. Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott was the hero for Lee Carsley’s side with two stunning second half goals either side of Noah Ohio’s equally impressive equaliser for the Dutch.

As a result, the Young Lions - who lifted the trophy two years ago - remain on course to go back-to-back as they will be back in Bratislava on Saturday to defend their European U21 Championship crown against either Germany or France. All in all, it was a largely dominant semi-final display from England, who were unfortunate not to be ahead at the break.

The breakthrough did arrive just after the hour mark when Elliott fired an effort into the top corner. The lead lasted all of 10 minutes though as substitute Noah Ohio equalised for the Netherlands with his very first touch of the ball as he caught Beadle off his line with a fine finish. However, Elliott had the final say with the winner to ensure England will be back in Bratislava on Saturday. Follow all the action back with Standard Sport’s blog below!
