It’s full steam ahead for the England U21s in their European Championship title defence as they face the Netherlands in a massive semi-final clash.

They now face a Netherlands side on a high after shocking Portugal in the quarter-finals, with the Dutch edging a late 1-0 win thanks to an Ernest Poku strike, despite going a man down in the first half.
