UEFA Under 19 Championship highlights: England 2-2 Norway
Tottenham forward Mikey Moore converted a late penalty as England drew against Norway in their opening match at the European Under-19 Championship in Romania.
The 17-year-old equalised in the 80th minute after team-mate Shumaira Mheuka had been pushed to the ground by defender Jonathan Norbye.
In an entertaining match, Will Antwi's Young Lions took an 11th-minute lead.
Tom Watson, who scored an injury-time winner for Sunderland in the Championship play-off final against Sheffield United before joining Brighton in a £10m deal, saw his deflected strike go in after Kadan Young's bright run created the opportunity.
Alexander Rossing-Lelesiit made it 1-1 with an excellent individual goal and both sides hit the woodwork before Sondre Granaas put Norway ahead just before half-time with a well-taken cushioned volley.
But England were the better side in the second half and got a deserved equaliser with 10 minutes remaining.
A late ankle injury to Moore was the only negative and, with Antwi's side having used all their substitutes, they had to see out the match with only 10 men.
England play Germany on Tuesday and the Netherlands on Friday, with the top two in each group progressing to the semi-finals.

Title: England U19s go for European glory
Content: England's future generations will be in action when the men's and women's European Under-19 Championships take place this month.
The men's tournament - in Romania - kicks off on Saturday, one day before the women's competition in Poland begins.
England's men have been drawn in a tough group with Germany, Netherlands and Norway, while the women will face Netherlands, Portugal and holders Spain.
Spain are the most successful team in the men's tournament, with nine titles since it too was switched from under-18s to under-19s in 2001-02.
Their most recent success came in Northern Ireland last year, when they beat France 2-0 in the final. That meant Spain's senior men and both under-19 teams won European competitions in 2024.
England, who failed to qualify last year, have won the tournament twice since its rebrand - most recently in 2022.

David Coote charged by Football Association over Jurgen Klopp comments
Coote was sacked last December by Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) after a video circulated on social media the previous month of him making derogatory comments about Klopp in July 2020. One of those remarks referenced Klopp's nationality, and the FA said that constituted an alleged 'aggravated breach' under its rules. The FA said Coote would face no further action in regard to separate allegations of gambling misconduct, which he had strenuously denied. The FA said those allegations had been fully investigated. PGMOL said in confirming Coote's dismissal last December that his position had become 'untenable' after the video surfaced. In it, Coote is heard saying it had been 's***' to be fourth official at a Liverpool match in the summer of 2020, describing Klopp as a 'German c***'. He also said Klopp was 'f****** arrogant'. Coote was banned by European football's governing body UEFA in February until June 30, 2026 after a different video emerged of him snorting a white powder through a bank note while in Germany for last summer's Euros. David Coote has been banned by UEFA until the end of June 2026 (Richard Sellers/PA) In January, Coote came out as gay in an interview with The Sun and said that a lifelong struggle to hide his sexuality had contributed to the rant about Klopp, and to his drug use. 'My sexuality isn't the only reason that led me to be in that position. But I'm not telling an authentic story if I don't say that I'm gay and that I've had real struggles with hiding that,' he said. 'I hid my emotions as a young ref and I hid my sexuality as well — a good quality as a referee but a terrible quality as a human being. And that's led me to a whole course of behaviours.' The FA has not shared a date by which Coote must respond to the charge. Coote has not been charged in relation to messages exchanged with a Leeds fan concerning the issuing of a yellow card in 2019. As the Klopp charge is an alleged case of discrimination, the PA news agency understands an independent regulatory commission will deal with the matter, and impose sanctions as it sees fit if Coote accepts the charge or it is found proven. Coote declined to comment when contacted via a spokesperson.

Jack Grealish can have City future after Club World Cup omission
Pep Guardiola has suggested Jack Grealish does have a future at Manchester City despite leaving him out of his squad for the Club World Cup. The City manager appeared to have opened the door for Grealish to leave the Etihad Stadium when he omitted him from the 27-man playing group for this summer's tournament in the United States. That came after Grealish, a £100million signing from Aston Villa four years ago and one of the stars of the 2023 treble success, endured a difficult 2024-25 season, making just seven Premier League starts. Yet Guardiola, while offering no guarantees about the England international's prospects at City, says his absence is principally about allowing him to work on his game. Speaking at a press conference in Philadelphia ahead of City's tournament opener against Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca, Guardiola said: 'He had a conversation with the club and decided the best. 'Jack is an exceptional player but he didn't (play a lot). We decided he has to play. 'We're honest and he's honest. We decided the best was to stay (behind) and find that he can play, that he can come back to the player of the year of the treble and all his career at Aston Villa. 'But the fact is he didn't play much minutes the last two seasons. He has to come back to play and have the butterflies in his stomach that he can play every three days and show again the quality that he has. 'We decided don't come here. What happens I don't know but if he doesn't (leave) he is a player for Man City and he will be back.' Guardiola denied this meant he felt Grealish had lost hunger for the game, but he needs reasons to start picking him again. He said: 'The reason he didn't play is my decisions. Football is competing with each other – not just Jack, all of them. 'They compete (for) who deserves to play. The butterflies are an example of the tension and they happen for all the players. 'Over the last two years he didn't play much and I take responsibility for that, but he has to play and we reflected that it was better not to come here.' Another player not involved in the US is England right-back Kyle Walker, who spent the second half of last season on loan at AC Milan and appears set to leave the club. The 35-year-old has been linked with Everton but Guardiola was unwilling to discuss the matter. He said: 'I don't have any news. It's the same case for Jack. About the links with other teams, you have to ask (director of football) Hugo (Viana).'

'The abuse never stops' - Lionesses to avoid social media
England forward Alessia Russo says she prefers to stay off social media during major tournaments because of how "damaging" abuse can 26-year-old was speaking about the issue alongside her Lionesses teammates as they prepare for their European Championship defence in Switzerland next comments come after British women's tennis number one Katie Boulter spoke to BBC Sport about abuse and death threats she has received online,Manchester United midfielder Grace Clinton 22, says she will try and stay away from social media to avoid a "toxic environment" while Chelsea forward Lauren James said "the abuse never really stops"."I think every player might have a different story about that side of the game but it's definitely one that can be really damaging," said Arsenal forward Russo, 26."I have faced it in the past and I think most players here have. When I was younger I probably got sucked into it more. "I read it more than I should have and listened to it more than I should have. The only opinions that matter are my team-mates, my coaches and my family."In my first Euros I was on social media and I would have a look, have a scroll, and I got caught in a trap sometimes. "Going into the World Cup, I completely came off everything and I had people to run my Instagram. I just focused on the tournament. "It's personal preference and whatever works for the team. Staying away from it and staying focused as a team is what works for me."Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, James discussed abuse she received, saying: "Sometimes it's not even to do with my performance, even when someone loses at Fifa [EA Sports FC video game], my card scores against them and they're sending me abuse."I guess when it's your first time though, maybe it might touch someone but I'm used to it, I'm going to just brush it off my shoulder."Chelsea midfielder Kiera Walsh told 5 Live she no longer uses social media, while club teammate Lucy Bronze added: "People write horrible things and obviously our families read it as well and it can be upsetting if you see something that's not very nice."Social media is amazing in one way and absolutely awful in another way. I think most of us have been off at some point."Manchester United midfielder Ella Toone said that while she will still uses Instagram during the tournament, she will respect the decision of any team-mate who decides to keep off social media while in Switzerland."I know other people turn their phones off. We have that conversation and all know how each other wants to go through the tournament," she said."If I see something on Instagram I'm not going to tell someone or blurt it out to the team because they don't want to see it. I think it's a personal preference."Having experienced online abuse as a young player, both her and Russo want to help younger players in the squad deal with it."I think from experiences me and Alessia have had in the past, we've always been the people that want to make sure the younger or less experienced players coming into the squad feel relaxed and feel OK," Toone added."We have such a talented squad. We have bags of talent coming into their first tournament so we want to make sure they are at ease and feel confident within themselves." Head here to get involved
