Rowe edges England to Under-21 Euros glory in extra-time thriller against Germany
Whatever Lee Carsley goes on to achieve in his managerial career, this will be very hard to beat. England Under-21s had been pegged back by Germany after racing into a 2-0 lead with goals for Harvey Elliott and Omari Hutchinson and those of a negative disposition could be forgiven for thinking back to the 1970 World Cup quarter-finals, when Sir Alf Ramsey's reigning champions were eliminated after extra time by West Germany in the same scenario. But with Thomas Tuchel watching on from the stands after dashing across the Atlantic to be here, Carsley – who was not even born back then – clearly had no such thoughts. Instead, he boldly gambled by taking off Elliott and the captain, James McAtee, and was rewarded by the substitute Jonathan Rowe scoring with almost his first touch. It means the Young Lions have followed in the footsteps of Dave Sexton's sides more than 40 years ago by winning successive European titles and their fourth in total. On this evidence, the future looks very bright indeed. Carsley could barely contain his emotions as he pumped his fist in delight at the final whistle while England's players celebrated wildly, with some of their family members in the stands bursting into tears. It has been a whirlwind six months for the former Everton midfielder, who was criticised for saying during his spell as interim England manager that he was hoping to return to the under-21s. England (4-2-3-1) Beadle; Livramento, Quansah, Cresswell, Hinshelwood; Anderson (Egan-Riley 99), Scott (Morton 44); Elliott (Rowe 90), McAtee (Nwaneri 90), Hutchinson (Iling-Junior 98); Stansfield (Norton-Cuffy 62).Subs not used Edwards, Fellows, Gray, Hackney, Sharman-Lowe, Simkin. Goals Elliott 5, Hutchinson 24, Rowe 92 Germany (4-3-3) Atubolu; Collins, Arrey-Mbi, Oermann (Wanner 105), Brown (Ullrich 86); Nebel, Martel (Tresoldi 98), Reitz; Weiper (Röhl 80), Woltemade, Gruda (Knauff 73) Subs not used Baum, Ernst, Jander, Noll, Rosenfelder, Siebert, Thielmann. Goals Weiper 45+1, Nebel 61 Yet with several players missing due to the Club World Cup and senior call-ups, Carsley has once again showed how effective he is coaching England's next crop of promising talent after arriving in Slovakia with an inexperienced squad that was not among the favourites to triumph. With Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson excelling in midfield, it is a testament to their team spirit that heads never dropped even after conceding the equaliser. Carsley had been calmness personified before kick-off as he cracked jokes with his assistant Ashley Cole and he had the luxury of being able to name an unchanged side from the semi-final victory against the Netherlands. Such was the interest in this game Tuchel had flown more than 5,000 miles from the Club World Cup in the US to be in attendance, while the Germany manager, Julian Nagelsmann, cut short his holiday in Mallorca. Both could not have failed to have been impressed with the way England started as Elliott, who was later presented with the player of the tournament award for his five goals but faces an uncertain future with Liverpool, gave them an early lead after Nnamdi Collins made a hash of a clearance. Charlie Cresswell – who is the other remaining member of the winning squad from 2023 – was inches away from doubling the lead when McAtee fired across the face of goal. Germany were caught out again on the break soon after and, having been set up by McAtee, Hutchinson finished with aplomb and he celebrated with an acrobatic flip. The usually understated Carsley could barely contain his delight on the touchline. With Germany's main threat Nick Woltemade having to drop increasingly deeper, the manager, Antonio Di Salvo, seemed to have no answer. But the loss of the limping Alex Scott, replaced by Liverpool's Tyler Morton just before half-time, was a blow and that was compounded when Nelson Weiper pulled one back by heading home Paul Nebel's cross in first-half injury time. McAtee was unlucky to see his effort drift just wide after a magnificent dummy left his marker for dead at the start of the second half. But Germany looked so much more threatening when they made it into the final third and the England goalkeeper James Beadle did well not to parry Nebel's cross into the path of the waiting Woltemade, who is set to join Bayern Munich from VfB Stuttgart after this tournament. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion There was to be no such reprieve when Nebel – who qualifies to play for the Republic of Ireland through his grandmother – saw his curling shot deflect off Jay Stansfield and loop over Beadle's despairing dive to equalise. Carsley immediately sacrificed Stansfield for Brooke Norton-Cuffy, with Elliott brought into a more central role. Suddenly the game was on a knife edge as Norton-Cuffy could only direct his shot straight at Noah Atubolu after being set up by Hutchinson. There were hearts in mouths on the England bench when a deflected Germany effort struck the crossbar in stoppages but they made it to extra time. Carsley rolled the dice by taking off the exhausted McAtee and Elliott, and it immediately paid dividends as Rowe's deft header from Morton's cross restored England's lead. 'We have to dig in,' said Carsley as he gathered his players together in a huddle at the change of ends. 'This is our time now.' Germany hit the bar again in injury time but Carsley and England would not be denied their place in the history books.

Chelsea book place in quarter-finals — 4hrs and 38mins after kick-off
A chaotic finish, for a chaotic match. Chelsea scrambled into the Club World Cup's quarter-finals after more than two hours of actual football, plus close on two hours of suspended football. Four hours and 38 minutes to complete, in all. There was lightning, there was VAR controversy, but ultimately they got over the line. Christopher Nkunku scored the goal that put Chelsea on the road to victory. It was that kind of game. Has there ever been one quite like this? Not in the Club World Cup, not in any major competition if memory serves. To have the game suspended for so long due to adverse weather conditions, to have it resume under the pressure of a time window between storms, and then to have a Benfica equaliser scored in such controversial circumstances — a VAR decision that would never have been given in most domestic forms of the game — is surely unique. Credit Chelsea then, for their three goals in the second half of extra time. Finally, they kept their heads, won a game they must have felt was already theirs. We'll get to that. First, the madness. There were five minutes remaining in normal time when the referee, Slavko Vincic, led the players off with lightning in the area and Chelsea in control and leading 1-0. And they did not return for close to two hours. There were several false starts. Predicted times to return scuppered by more lightning. Warm-ups aborted. And as the minutes ticked by so the advantage moved to Benfica. There was almost an air of inevitability about the return. When referee Vincic — Slovenian, over-promoted — brought the teams back on, all the momentum was with the Portuguese. They had been poor to this point. Their best, their only, chance had come when the Chelsea goalkeeper, Robert Sánchez, misjudged a shot from Fredrik Aursnes. Yet here was a free hit. Bonus time. Had the game played out when it should have done, Chelsea would almost certainly have won. Yet Benfica now had nothing to lose. They had four minutes, plus injury time. When six additional minutes were signalled, it was almost as if drama was ordained. Severe weather in the Charlotte area forced play to be suspended on the 86-minute mark for more than two hours… FEDERICO PARRA/AFP So it came. Nicolás Otamendi's header connected with a cross and clipped the extended arm of Malo Gusto. Natural position when jumping? Yes. The sort that gets given in the Premier League. Never. In Fifa competition: penalty. Vincic did not give it but was summoned by the VAR. The moment he jogged to the sidelines, everyone knew. Ángel Di María waited for Sánchez to commit and just slotted his penalty kick to the left. Welcome back, my friends, to the game that never ends. And we can argue the ridiculousness of the situation, of having a tournament in a part of the United States so prone to electrical storms. We can judge the letter of the law and its many travesties, yet the fact remains that once again Chelsea did not pull clear given every opportunity. Chances were squandered — some by Marc Cucurella, playing an extremely attacking role — good positions wasted. Chelsea should have had this wrapped by half-time, by full-time, and certainly within four hours. Instead they went into extra time level, and up against it — even when Gianluca Prestianni was sent off not just for his foul on Levi Colwill but for the equally nasty reaction that followed. What chaos. For Chelsea had been coasting. Their goal was a thing of beauty, too. Minute 62, Reece James sized up the simplest of passes down the flank and bunged it straight into touch. Minute 64, he gave Chelsea the lead with a free kick full of intelligence and class. That's the thing with the best players. They aren't easily fazed, not easily knocked out of their stride. James had already forgotten that duffed pass when he scored. He had already alighted on a redeeming plan. He had spotted Benfica's goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin, in a poor position. Trubin was expecting a cross and, for this reason, had left too much room at his near post. He's 6ft 6in, mind, Trubin. It would need to be some special kick to beat him, no matter where he stood. So James took a special free kick. James takes quite a few of them these days since his comeback from injury. One against Bournemouth on January 14 this year, another for England against Latvia in March. And now this. A special goal, a lucrative goal, given helped take Chelsea into the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup. It was thought James could get lost in the various reshuffles of the Maresca era, squeezed out at full back, swamped by sheer numbers in central midfield. That's not going to happen now. He's a player. Chelsea need players. Not just vanloads of players. Proper ballers. MIKE SEGAR/REUTERS So James whipped in his free kick at the near post, Trubin scrambled unsuccessfully, and the game should have been won. It would have been no more than Chelsea deserved. Ultimately, then, justice was done. As extra time spun out, so Chelsea's man advantage showed. Benfica were carved open, three times in nine minutes. Cole Palmer found Moisés Caicedo in the penalty area and his shot squirmed under Trubin towards the goalline. Otamendi first stopped Nkunku but could do no more as he turned the loose ball into the empty net, from a yard. Minutes later, Pedro Neto was left one on one from the halfway line, and made no mistake. For the fourth Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall did the same. So this was a decent afternoon's work that turned into a good night. An eye-catching performance in parts, much improved on Chelsea's group stage form. They have still not hit the heights achieved by Manchester City but this is a team bedding in. Character-building, too. Get through this lunacy and who knows where it ends. Benfica (4-2-3-1): A Trubin 8 — F Aursnes 6 (T Gouveia 86), A Silva 7, N Otamendi 5, S Dahl 5 — F Luis 6 (G Prestianni 70), L Barreiro 6, O Kokcu 6 (J Veloso 85) — V Pavlidis 6 (A Belotti 70), A Di Maria 7, A Schjelderup 5 (K Akturkoglu 46 6). Booked Kokcu, Luis, Pavlidis, Prestianni, Silva, Gouveia. Sent off Prestianni. Chelsea (4-2-2-2): R Sanchez 6 — R James 8 (M Gusto 80), B Badiashile 5 (T Adarabioyo 69), L Colwill 7 (A Anselmino 118), M Cucurella 7 — M Caicedo 8, R Lavia 6 (T Chalobah 85) — C Palmer 7, E Fernández 6 (K Dewsbury-Hall 81) — P Neto 7, L Delap 7 (C Nkunku 80).
