U21 Euros – Ethan Nwaneri features as striker in sub appearance as England beat Spain to reach semi-finals

Ethan Nwaneri came on as a substitute in the 81st minute as England U21s made it through to the semi-finals of the European Championship with a 3-1 win against Spain.

Nwaneri was deployed as a striker and gave a good account of himself. On one occasion the 18-year-old held the ball up well and found former Arsenal player Brooke Norton-Cuffy, who shot over.

James McAtee put England ahead before Harvey Elliott made it 2-0.

Javi Guerra got a goal back for Spain with a penalty but Elliot Anderson netted from the spot late on to ensure victory for England.

Lee Carsley’s side will take on the Netherlands on Wednesday in the semi-finals.
