England star pays tribute to Young Lions after Euro U21 clash ends in chaos
England Under-21s defence of their European title continued with a 3-1 quarter-final win over pre-tournament favourites Spain, to book a final four showdown with Netherlands Harvey Elliott paid tribute to England's fighting spirit after reaching the semi-finals of the U21 European Championships. There were fiery scenes at the full-time whistle as players from both sets of teams came head-to-head after England ran out 3-1 winners to book a tie with the Netherlands in the final four. The Liverpool attacker, who netted the second for the Young Lions, said of his side's performance: "Incredible, I'm lost for words I think. I said at the start of the game it's going to be very tough, I knew they'd play an incredible game against us. "I thought the lads handled it and handled the pressure, we conceded a goal and were determined to keep on going and keep on fighting. We deserve it so much. It's kind of time to celebrate it but we need to think about the semis now and go again." It boiled over Trnava, Slovakia as Spain's anger didn't mix well with England's celebrations. Coaches from both teams had to split the players up, with the match officials also getting involved. Spain's Rafa Marin was sent off following the full-time whistle, while England goalscorer James McAtee picked up a booking. But Elliott has revealed he tried to diffuse the situation in fear England were at risk of getting players sent off and suspended for their semi-final against Holland. He added: "I don't know [what caused it], it's always going to happen due to the passion of both teams. I was trying to calm everyone down, we have everything to lose and they don't but we have to focus now and not get too carried away. "We can't lose players for the semi-final." Elliott also noted the vast improvement from England as they scored three goals to eliminate the tournament favourites. He continued: "There was a major difference from start to finish. We were compact as a team and fought together, we didn't give up and we trusted in our own ability. "The football was just incredible, we need to take a lot of things from this game. We have to take it game by game, we can't be thinking too far ahead. "We need to recover as it's going to be another tough game. Who knows if we can defend it." Young Lions boss Carsley said of his defending champions: "The big thing is this can't be our final, this can't be the highlight of our tournament. There are better nights to come and it's good now we've got an extra day recovery so I'm looking forward to the next game now. "We talked about making a fast start and we obviously gave away a penalty inside the opening two minutes but the lads showed a lot of character, I thought we were so good in the first half."There were some really outstanding performances and they should be proud of themselves."

McAtee nets opener as England beat Spain to reach U21 Euros semi-finals
James McAtee scored the first goal of the game as England beat Spain 3-1 in the quarter-finals of the 2025 U21 European Championships in Slovakia. Captaining Lee Carsley's side, McAtee pounced on a loose ball to turn home from a few yards out after just 10 minutes. Advertisement That was backed up shortly after by Harvey Elliott, who made the most of a tap in after a low shot was spilled by goalkeeper Alejandro Iturbe. Spain were given a lifeline as half-time approached when Jarrell Quansah tripped Alberto Moleiro in the box. Valencia's Javi Guerra made no mistake from the spot, halving England's lead at the break. With England working hard to keep Spain at arm's length in the second period, McAtee - a creative midfielder who shines on the ball - ran himself into the ground. Our Academy graduate was replaced in the 71st minute as Carsley sought to reinforce further back. Advertisement England held firm and were even able to make the game safe in stoppage time, when Jonathan Rowe was felled by Iturbe in the box. Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson converted for the defending champions to ensure safe progress. Speaking after the game, McAtee was only focused on what's to come. "We're over the moon but the focus is the semi-final now," he said. "We got through the group but we knew it wasn't good enough so we had to step it up today so we're glad we got the win." McAtee and England will now face Netherlands at the Slovakian national stadium in Bratislava at 17:00 (UK) on Wednesday 25 June for a place in the final. We'll have a report from that game on and our official app shortly after it concludes.

Unfortunately for Carsley, the Club World Cup has precedence."First and foremost we have to remember the age of the players. Obviously, they are adult professional players as they are over 18, but they still need a lot of support," Carsley said."We're supporting all of the players. We have room within our schedule to make sure they get a chance if they need to have a medical or they need to speak to a club. We support them with that."Liam is one of two or three players we are supporting with that at the moment."Ideally, I want them here - of course I do. You want your strongest squad but we have to put the players first and that is definitely what we are doing."When asked about what Delap will bring to Chelsea, Carsley was reluctant to go into detail until a transfer was complete, but he did highlight the 22-year-old's strengths."Liam has done really well in the Premier League. He has shown what a capable player he is."The good thing about Liam is he still has a lot of developing to do. He still has a lot of improvement to do in his all round game so it is exciting times for him."
