Liverpool starlet Jarell Quansah scores late winner to send England to U19s Euro Final
A late header from Liverpool starlet Jarell Quansah was enough to send the England Under-19s to the final of the European Championships.
England Under-19s beat Italy Under-19s on Tuesday (28 June) with goals from Quansah and Alex Scott being enough to send the Young Lions to the final.
England went 1-0 down in the 12th minute, after Arsenal full-back, Brooke Norton-Cuffy fouled Juventus midfielder in the penalty area, and the Italian converted the subsequent spot-kick.
However, the Young Lions were level just after half time, after Bristol City’s Alex Scott emphatically headed in the equaliser from a corner.
Brentford’s Matthew Cox had to make a fine save in the 73rd minute from Tommasso Baldanzi to keep it England level.
However, Ian Foster’s team eventually went ahead, when Liverpool’s Quansah got onto the end of captain Harvey Vale’s left-footed corner and headed in from close range in the 81st minute.
