It has been a little over eight years since the young Lions of Keith Downing have marked history by becoming the first team of England to win the European Championship under 19 after a victory over Portugal. So what happened next?
England celebrated a memorable tournament victory in the Tengiz Burjanadze stadium in Gori, Georgia, while the second half’s goals from Easah Suliman of Aston Villa and Lukas Nmecha from Manchester City sealed a 2-1 hard victory.
Fulham midfielder Tayo Edun, who was one of the most coherent artists in England throughout the tournament, received a second offense in the 86th minute.
