England Defend Under-21 Euro Crown With Dramatic Win Over Germany
England successfully defended their Under-21 European Championship title as Jonathan Rowe's header gave Lee Carlsey's team a 3-2 extra-time victory over Germany in the final on Saturday. The reigning champions took an early two-goal lead but were pegged back as Germany took the match to an added half-hour. Marseille winger Rowe provided the crucial moment in the 92nd minute as England secured their fourth Under-21 Euro title, moving one ahead of Germany and just one behind joint record five-time winners Spain and Italy. England raced into a fifth-minute lead as Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott collected a loose ball and calmly stroked in his fifth goal of the tournament. Carsley's side threatened to run riot as they regularly cut Germany open on the counter-attack, and Omari Hutchinson drilled in their second goal 20 minutes later after being set up by James McAtee. Manchester City midfielder McAtee almost added a third before the break but was denied by a fine save from German goalkeeper Noah Atubolu. Nelson Weiper, who also scored in Germany's group-stage win over England, dragged his team back into the contest in first-half stoppage time, powering Paul Nebel's cross into the net with a bullet header. The Germans drew level just after the hour as Nebel picked up a second ball from a corner and fired a shot past goalkeeper James Beadle with the aid of a slight deflection. Germany almost grabbed victory in injury time, but Nebel's shot came back off the crossbar. England reclaimed the lead in the second minute of extra time, as Tyler Morton's brilliant cross was headed home by fellow substitute Rowe. Germany again went within a whisker of scoring in injury time, but Merlin Roehl's thunderous strike rattled the bar as England clung on.

Jonathan Rowe clinches England Under-21 Euros glory with extra-time winner
Both sides had met earlier in the competition – where Germany ran out 2-1 victors in their Group B clash – but England opened the scoring early in Bratislava through Harvey Elliott. Omari Hutchinson doubled the lead 20 minutes later, but goals from Nelson Weiper and Paul Nebel either side of the break dragged Germany back into the game. 2025 #U21EURO Champions! 🏴🏆 — England (@England) June 28, 2025 England were given a scare when Nebel's deflected strike hit the crossbar with a minute to go in normal time and a pulsating encounter went into extra time. Substitute Rowe made an instant impact after coming off the bench, scoring with a diving header, and his goal proved decisive, despite Germany coming close again at the death when Merlin Rohl's effort hit the bar. Lee Carsley's side struck after five minutes when Hutchinson forced Noah Atubolu into a brilliant low save and the rebound was cleared to Elliott, who coolly slotted the ball into the bottom-right corner to score his fifth goal of the tournament. James McAtee sliced a shot across the face of goal and Jay Stansfield was inches away from converting a McAtee cross. Germany captain Eric Martel sent an effort over the crossbar before England grabbed a second goal in the 25th minute. McAtee had a chance blocked and he tapped the ball to Hutchinson, who drilled a strike between the legs of Atubolu and into the net. Hutchinson came close again moments later as his shot flew wide and another dangerous England counter-attack saw Atubolu make a diving stop to deny McAtee. Carsley was forced to make a change when Alex Scott was forced off through injury and Germany pulled a goal back in first-half stoppage-time when Nebel's pinpoint cross reached Weiper, who powered a header past James Beadle. McAtee had an effort roll just past the upright after the break before Beadle was called into action at the other end to push away Nebel's effort. Back-to-back 🏆🏆 Lee Carsley becomes the first England U21 manager to win consecutive #U21EUROs since Dave Sexton in '82 and '84 💫 — England (@England) June 28, 2025 Germany began to threaten and equalised in the 61st minute when a corner reached the unmarked Nebel and he hit a stunning finish into the top corner. McAtee curled a strike over the bar as England looked to regain some control and substitute Brooke Norton-Cuffy had a shot comfortably collected by Atubolu. Germany missed the chance to snatch a dramatic winner when Nebel rattled the crossbar. McAtee and Elliott came off for Ethan Nwaneri and Rowe, with the Marseille forward scoring just two minutes into extra time when he flicked Tyler Morton's superb cross into the bottom corner. A solid defensive display saw England fend off some promising Germany attacks and Rohl hit the woodwork with two minutes to play as Carsley's Young Lions managed to successfully defend their European crown.
