England U21 vs Germany U21 - LIVE!

England U21 have retained the European U21 Championship by beating Germany U21 in a dramatic final after extra-time. 2009 was the last time these two nations faced off in a Euro U21 Championship final and it was a one-sided affair as Germany ran out 4-0 winners.

A reversal seemed to be on the cards at one stage as England raced into a two-goal lead inside the opening 25 minutes, but Germany responded and got back on level terms with strikes either side of the break and they almost won it with the virtually the final kick of the regular 90. In the end, Jonathan Rowe - on as a substitute at the start of extra-time - scored what turned out to be the winner with only his second touch of the game, earning the Young Lions their fourth U21s title in the process.

Harvey Elliott gave England a dream start inside five minutes, Omari Hutchinson doubled the lead but Nelson Weiper reduced the deficit in first-half stoppage time and Paul Nebel completed the comeback. Lee Carsley’s substitution at the start of the second half paid off within minutes as Rowe made enough contact with Morton’s superb cross to crown England kings of Europe at under-21 level once again.
