The Young Lions have scored seven unanswered across the tournament so far and have been too good for all of their opponents.

England haven’t won the Euros at this age group since 1984, but they are now one game away from the final.

Should they win tonight, they would face Ukraine or Spain for glory on Saturday.

Carsley’s men faced Israel in their second Group C match and comfortably won 2-0 thanks to goals from Anthony Gordon and Emile Smith Rowe.
