England's under-21 team secured a notable victory over the Czech Republic, led by goals from Harvey Elliott, Charlie Cresswell, and Jonathan Rowe, as they seek to recreate past European triumphs. Despite Lee Carsley's caution about the inexperience of the squad, their performance indicates promise. The win positions England favorably in Group B, with a crucial match against Slovenia looming, where a second win will guarantee a place in the quarter-finals. The match showcased both young talent and the fervent support of fans despite vulnerabilities in defense.
In a week that England's senior side have hardly covered themselves in glory, perhaps the under-21s could make it another memorable summer?
Victory over Slovenia, who were beaten 3-0 by Germany in their opening match, on Sunday would assure a place in the quarter-finals.
Carsley had warned that an inexperienced squad that contains just two of those who won in Georgia two years ago could look a little bit clunky.
Goals from Harvey Elliott and Charlie Cresswell sandwiched by another from Jonathan Rowe were enough to allow England to take a commanding position in Group B.
