Elliott pays the price for 'silly' knee slide celebrating England U21 goal
Harvey Elliott may have to rethink his goal celebrations after the midfielder was left wincing in pain from a knee slide following the first of his two strikes in England's 2-1 win over the Netherlands in the European Under-21 Championship semi-finals. Elliott's knee got stuck on the pitch at the Tehelne Pole stadium in Bratislava, Slovakia, and he fell over sideways, but got up and continued celebrating as England took the lead after the hour mark on Wednesday. Netherlands equalised through Noah Ohio 10 minutes later but Elliott delivered the winner in the 86th minute to set up a final against Germany on Saturday. 'I don't know what I've done to my knee, but it's hurting," player of the match Elliott told Channel 4. "So hopefully it's nothing too silly. It's a silly decision from me, to be honest, but it's just one of them, live in the moment. 'You do these things, but I forgot the pitch was ridiculously dry and it is the price I have to pay.'

Harvey Elliott brilliance clinches England Under-21s place in Euros final
One year on from the men's senior team beating the Netherlands in the Euros semi-final, the Young Lions followed suit, with Elliott's second-half double earning a 2-1 win in Bratislava. The 22-year-old, a Premier League champion with Liverpool, scored both goals, first putting his side ahead just after the hour and then firing a superb 86th-minute winner after Noah Ohio had levelled for the Dutch with his first touch. Lee Carsley's side will meet Germany or France in Saturday's final when they will hope to retain the crown they won two years ago. Victory was fully deserved in searing heat in Slovakia as they were the better team throughout, with the Dutch goal coming out of nothing. Carsley's men almost took the lead in the fourth minute. Omari Hutchinson caused trouble down the left and sent in a low cross to Elliott at the far post, but the midfielder's low shot was brilliantly saved by the outstretched leg of Dutch goalkeeper Robin Roefs. Roefs denied Elliott again in the 12th minute as England piled the pressure on, again staying big to deny a low shot after Jay Stansfield's cutback. The Young Lions stayed on top but the chances dried up until a brilliant move just before the break, when James McAtee set Hutchinson free, he played in Elliott whose cutback was perfect for Alex Scott, but the Bournemouth midfielder's shot was deflected over. The Netherlands, who failed to have a shot in the first half, improved after the break and began asking questions. They tested James Beadle for the first time just before the hour when Aston Villa full-back Ian Maatsen drilled a 25-yard shot through a crowd of bodies, but the goalkeeper was equal to it. Just as England were being pushed back, they went ahead in the 62nd minute. Elliot Anderson set Elliott clear, he advanced into the box and fired a fine right-footed finish in at the near post. But the advantage was short-lived as Ohio made the perfect impact from the bench. Moments after coming on, the former Manchester United and Manchester City academy player scored with his first touch. He latched on to the ball after Charlie Cresswell miscontrolled, spotted Beadle out of position and shot first time from the left wing into the near post. But England were not going to be denied and some Elliott heroics sent them into the final for just the second time since 2009. He picked the ball up 30 yards out, turned his marker, beat another man and advanced into the penalty area before whipping a low shot into the bottom corner.

Harvey Elliott hopes knee-slide celebration knock will not rule him out of final
Elliott scored twice as the Young Lions beat Netherlands 2-1 in the semi-final in Bratislava. The Liverpool midfielder attempted a knee slide after he opened the scoring just after the hour, but he got stuck in the dry conditions. He played on through the pain and moved England to one win away from becoming back-to-back champions when scored an 86th-minute winner after Noah Ohio levelled for the Dutch. 'I don't know what I've done to my knee, but it's bloody hurting,' he told Channel 4. 'So hopefully it's nothing too silly. It's a silly decision from me, to be honest, but it's just one of them, live in the moment. 'You do these things, but I forgot the pitch was ridiculously dry and it is the price I have got to pay.' England will play Germany or France in the final on Saturday where they will aim to defend the crown they won two years ago. 'It's amazing,' Elliott added. 'A really tough game, but bloody hell, to win it, it's incredible. #U21EURO finalists 🏴❤️ — England (@England) June 25, 2025 'I can't put it words. Another final, I know I keep saying it, but we need to rest, recover and go again, because it's not over yet. 'Tonight was another amazing experience, really tough conditions once again. But the way the lads dug deep, I think we deserve this final. It's just about recovering, resting and going again. 'It's been really tough preparation wise. We had many players that had to drop out because of the Club World Cup, transfers and things like that. 'It's just one last push and hopefully we can be crowned champions again.' Boss Lee Carsley, who is aiming to follow in Dave Sexton's footsteps of winning the tournament twice, declared the victory 'outstanding'. 'The team were outstanding. The way we started the game was exciting and disappointing to come in at half-time without scoring,' he told Channel 4. 'Second half we played with real resilience. We stood up and got over the line. We can really look forward to the final. 'Harvey Elliott and Charlie Cresswell didn't play a lot of minutes in the last campaign. We knew how important they would be – they have taken that on board, the responsibility of driving the rest of the squad. 'Harvey has been outstanding. He is one of many who have stood up. They're developing as a team and a squad. I think this team is outstanding.'
