England retain Euro Under-21 title after Rowe extra time goal sinks Germany
BRATISLAVA, June 28 (Reuters) - Jonathan Rowe came off the bench to score an extra-time goal which gave holders England a 3-2 win over Germany in the Under-21 European Championship final on Saturday after they had let slip a two-goal lead. Lee Carsley's side retained the title won two years ago which brings England's total haul to four, but they were pushed all the way by a German side who came into the final as favourites and had beaten England in the group stage. "I'm so happy for them; to be European champions for the second time is a great achievement and the challenge now is to do it again in two years," Carsley told Channel 4. "I'm going to try and enjoy tonight. It's important. I love my job, I'm very proud of the job I do, I love working with the players. It's important they have a shandy or two tonight." England took the lead in the fifth minute when Omari Hutchinson had his effort saved by the keeper and a defensive clearance fell to Harvey Elliot who had time and space to pick his spot and steer a low shot inside the near post. Elliot began the move for England's second goal with a chipped pass into the path of James McAtee and when the midfielder found his route blocked by two defenders he laid off the ball to Hutchinson who drilled his strike through the keeper's legs. Hutchinson somersaulted away in celebration after his 24th-minute goal but Germany pulled one back in added time before the break. Paul Nebel crossed from the wing and Nelson Weiper rose unchallenged to power a header past England keeper James Beadle. The equaliser came in the 61st minute from a corner kick which went all the way to Nebel, out wide in the area, who pulled inside and drove the ball into the far top corner. Both sides created further chances but extra time was needed and England went back in front within two minutes when substitute Tyler Morton floated a perfect ball into the box and the unmarked Rowe headed home. "I came into the game with the mindset of doing anything I could to help the team," Rowe told Channel 4. "I wasn't starting but I knew, at some point, all of us on the bench would have to come on, make a difference and help the team to push it over the line." Rowe replaced Elliot at the end of normal time, making an immediate impact. After his goal there was no way back for Germany as England held firm under relentless pressure, with the Germans hitting the woodwork in added time. The defeat brought the Germans' 20-game unbeaten run to an end. Their last loss came against England in the 2023 tournament and two years to the day since that game, England triumphed again. England senior manager Thomas Tuchel was watching from the stands and the German, struggling to impress in his early days in charge, may well look to some of Carsley's side, and tactics, for a brighter English future. "I've had a chance with the senior team and I love that, so the best thing I can do is help the pathway and try and help the senior team," Carsley said.

📝 Spain Under-21s lose 3-1 to England, bow out of the tournament
La Rojita bid farewell in the quarterfinals of the European Under-21 Championship, after falling to England 1-3. Javi Guerra had converted a penalty for Spain's goal in the last minutes of the first half, in a match that was already looking very complicated for the youth team led by Santi Denia from very early on. Advertisement England was winning by two goals in the first quarter of an hour. James McAtee, a Manchester City player, opened the scoring at 10 for Lee Carsley's team, and five minutes later, Harvey Elliot —from Liverpool— increased the difference. The discount kept La Rojita in the game and they had chances to equalize in the second half, but the goal did not arrive and already in the final minutes of the game, there was another penalty, this time in favor of England, which Elliot Anderson exchanged for a goal to sentence the game and Spain's elimination. 📸 Christian Hofer - 2025 Getty Images Everything indicates that this elimination will be the final point of Denia's cycle as Spain Under-21 coach, a very successful cycle that included gold in Paris 2024.

'My future is FA' - Carsley signs deal until 2027
England Under-21 head coach Lee Carsley has signed a new contract with the Football Association to run until future was the subject of speculation during his six-match spell as interim head coach of the England senior team, which ended last November after he led the side to promotion back to the top tier of the Nations 51-year-old - previously on a 12-month rolling deal - has committed himself to the FA for another two years a week before England attempt to retain the European Under-21 title they won under his guidance in 2023, a feat they last achieved in 1982 and tournament takes place in Slovakia this month, with England's first game against the Czech Republic on 12 June."I've just signed an extension. I've got the Euros and then the next campaign. My future is definitely the FA," Carsley asked if the contract was going to be as U21 head coach or if there was the potential for a job elsewhere in the FA, Carsley replied: "I'll just see how it goes. I think it's important that I just do a good job."I am just trying to do it again [win the Euros]. The priority is the Euros and I won't be taking my eye off of that."The England U21 side is packed with exciting young talent such as Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri, Tottenham's Archie Gray and Liverpool's Harvey has not been all plain sailing for Carsley though, with striker Liam Delap near certain to miss the tournament despite being named in the training squad, as he moves close to completing a £30m move to are involved in the Club World Cup this summer in the United States and the Fifa tournament takes priority over the U21 Delap, Carsley could also lose Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham to the Club World Cup, if he completes a move to Borussia Dennis Cirkin, Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton and Tottenham Hotspur's Dane Scarlett are all missing because of injuries, but Carsley says these setbacks are all part of the development."First and foremost we have to remember the age of the players. They still need a lot of support." said Carsley, whose team are in a group alongside Slovenia and Germany, as well as the Czechs."We have room within our schedule to make sure that they get a chance if they need to have a medical or they need to speak to a club. "Liam is one of two or three players who we are supporting with that at the moment."Ideally I want them here, of course I do. You want your strongest squad but we have to put the players first and that is definitely what we are doing."Carsley has challenged this year's squad to improve on what his 2023 champions did. That team won all six of their matches without conceding a goal."First and foremost we can definitely improve the way we played at times," he said."We spoke about having control, with the bigger picture of hopefully helping players go onto the senior team. I've got the benefit of seeing what potentially that looks like."Hopefully we'll be good to watch. That's what you want. You want people back home watching the next generation of England players and being excited by it."Carsley won five of his six games in charge of the England senior team, with his only defeat coming against Greece at he said he thinks that the experience of leading the senior team gave him "a lot of confidence" and will benefit the players he coaches that time Carsley gave senior debuts to a number of his class of 2023 and seven of that squad are in Thomas Tuchel's squad for Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Andorra and Tuesday's friendly with Senegal."I think that can be inspiring for this group," Carsley said. "From the last group that won the Euros, nine debuts in the senior team."What an incentive to win a tournament and have that progression and have that conveyor belt of players that are able to go through."

Premier League champions Liverpool suffered a 3-2 defeat to Brighton on Monday night. The reigning champions failed to hold on to a 2-1 lead with a little over 20 minutes to go. Brighton staged a spirited comeback, forcing two splendid goals past Liverpool keeper Alisson Becker in the second half to win the game. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The result saw Brighton rise to eight spot. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. Coming on the back of a 2-2 draw to Arsenal in their previous league outing, the Reds took the lead against The Seagulls in the 9th minute of the game. Harvey Elliot finished off an exquisite attack from the right wing, courtesy of Conor Bradley. The latter set up Elliot for a tap-in, and the Englishman obliged. Bombay Sport Exchange Ep 5: Shane Watson on how IPL gave him a lifeline & his tribute to Phil Hughes After several chances that went back and forth, Brighton finally pulled their way back in through a spectacular team goal, finished off by Yasin Ayari. Heading into the second half with one goal apiece, the Reds upped the ante with a Dominik Szoboszlai goal from an extremely difficult angle. The Hungarian's strike from the edge of the penalty box dipped over Brighton keeper Bart Verbruggen, and dipped right in time to bulge the side netting. It was now Brighton's turn to up the gears, and it didn't take long for the hosts to pull level once again. This time it was Kaoru Mitoma with a half volley into the ground, after the ball fell invitingly to him after Alisson denied an earlier attempt from Danny Welbeck. With five minutes left on the clock, Jack Hinshelwood found the net for the third and final time for Brighton, securing all three points on the night.
