England recover from 5-1 down in record draw with Germany at under-19 Euros
England recovered from a four-goal deficit to draw 5-5 with Germany on Tuesday, setting a new record for the highest-scoring game in Under-19 European Championship history. In their second game of the tournament, England found themselves 5-1 down in the 48th minute, but four goals in 11 second-half minutes helped the young side earn an unlikely draw. The 10-goal haul in Bucharest on Tuesday was one more than the previous tournament record of nine goals in a match, Spain's 8-1 victory over Cyprus in 2006 . Gerard Pique and Juan Mata both featured for the victors that day. Germany looked on course for a comfortable win on Tuesday as goals from Barcelona's Noah Darvic and Said El Mala established a 2-0 lead just after the half-hour mark. Fulham's Josh King pulled one back in the 35th minute, but Max Moerstedt and Leopold Wurm ensured Germany retired at half-time 4-1 up and in command. Advertisement El Mala made it 5-1 upon the restart, but Manchester United's Ethan Wheatley pulled one back seven minutes into the second half to England's remarkable comeback. Tottenham Hotspur's Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny, Nottingham Forest's Zach Abottt, and Crystal Palace's Jesse Derry all scored to make it 5-5 in the 63rd minute. Despite six minutes of stoppage time, neither side was able to find a winner, and the game ended in a pulsating 5-5 draw. The result leaves Germany, who lost their first game 3-0 to the Netherlands on Saturday, bottom of group B, while England, who were held to a 2-2 draw with Norway on the same day, are in second spot. England face group leaders the Netherlands on Friday in their final group game.

Watch: England U-19s pull off stunning four-goal comeback to draw with Germany
England pulled off a sensational four-goal second-half comeback to draw 5-5 with Germany at the Under-19 European Championship in Bucharest in the highest-scoring game in the tournament's history. Barcelona's Noah Darvic opened the scoring for Germany in the Group B fixture after just seven minutes at the Stadionul Arcul de Triumf and the ever-lively Said El Mala grabbed the first of his two goals with just over half-an-hour played as England seemed to wilt in the stifling heat in Romania. Fulham midfielder Joshua King's 35th-minute goal – firing in from 12 yards out after a Jayden Meghoma cross – had briefly made it 2-1 before their opponents scored three times in six minutes either side of the interval through Max Moerstedt, Leopold Wurm and El Mala to make it 5-1. But the 2022 champions were a side transformed in the second half. They sparked into life when Manchester United's Ethan Wheatley began the comeback in the 52nd minute, forcing the ball home after Germany goalkeeper Konstantin Heide mishandled a header from Nottingham Forest's Zach Abbott. Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny made it 5-3 three minutes later and the belief seemed to spread through the whole of Will Antwi's side. The incredible comeback was sealed by a further two goals in three minutes – Abbott heading in from a corner on the hour mark and Crystal Palace's Jesse Derry, son of former Eagles captain Shaun, levelling the scores after Heide had again spilt the ball, this time from a Kaden Young cross.
