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 seen here with our Michael Yiakoumi 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.
