England are U17 European champions

England have won the U17 Euros after defeating Holland in the final yesterday.

Chelsea's Dominic Solanke scored England's goal as the match finished 1-1 in normal time in Malta, and Everton's Jonjoe Kenny scored the winning penalty as England claimed the title they last won back in 2010.

Solanke struck on 25 minutes but Jari Schuurman levelled it just before half-time.

With no extra-time played at this level, the final went straight to penalties and John Peacock's England romped home 4-1 in the shoot-out.

England had been beaten 2-0 by the Dutch in a dead rubber in the group phase, with both teams having already qualified.

Wins over tournament hosts Malta and Turkey put England into the semi-finals where they beat Portugal 2-0.
