England U19 coach Brian Eastick had no complaints after they fell 2-0 to hosts Ukraine in yesterday's European Championship final.

"The best team won on the day," he admitted.

"To concede a goal so quickly was exactly the same as in the group game and when you concede a goal that early in the game, it puts you on the back foot.

"We spoke in the dressing room about getting onto the front foot, so it definitely knocked us back.

"I didn't think we played particularly well in the first half and I thought that we could improve after half time, but then the timing of the second goal really knocked the stuffing out of our team.

"Psychologically, they are good times to score and once the second goal went in, we physically and mentally struggled.

"I think Ukraine over the 90 minutes were the better side so I have no complaints about the result."

With England having played 120 minutes of a tough game against France on Thursday, whilst Ukraine saw off Serbia in 90 minutes, Eastick felt that the strain on his players showed.

"I think the extra time against France took its toll physically and there was no doubt about that," he added.

"We physically looked very tired today and even though we've got better and fitter over the last two weeks, we're a team that are still in pre-season really.

"I think we needed another day to recover perhaps, because the extra time against France took it out of us I think."
