Gosling's England through to final.

[Neiler]

Well in Dan lad:

Dan Gosling's England Under-19s are through to the final of the European Championships after a 3-1 victory over France.

An early opener from Frances' Magaye Gueye and a 20-yard equaliser from Arsenal's Henri Lansbury saw the tie destined for extra time, where a double from Aston Villa's Nathan Delfouneso was enough to steal the win in Ukraine.

The match started brightly for France as an unmarked Gueye found space to convert from eight yards out.

But just before half time Lansbury netted the Young Lions an equaliser as the rebound from Danny Drinkwater's free-kick fell perfectly for the striker to drive in with force.

And Delfouneso's brace in extra time booked the Young Lions their place in Sunday's final.

The game finished with just eight men on the pitch for the French - as two late dismissals for Ryad Boudebouz and Abdel El Kaoutari added to Sebastien Corchia's earlier departure.

Gosling played the 90-minutes in the clash, and England will now face tournament hosts Ukraine for the second time in the Championships in the final on Sunday 2 August.

Meanwhile, Everton academy scholar Jake Bidwell played 55 minutes in England Under-17s 8-0 thrashing of the Faroe Islands on Wednesday. The Blues' young defender also played a full game in their first match of the Nordic Tournament on Tuesday.

Sounded like he went through the wars in that game

Player got sent off for a challenge on him at the end

Another (or was it the same guy?) was booked right at the beginning for a naff tackle

Hope he comes back in one piece

We should have a look at Arsenal's Henri Lansbury - he is boss on footy manager. Thought we had some deal with the makers to scout for players????

There i no way Asenal would let him go

They know how good he is, and will become

Expect to see him and Rodwell paired at CM for England i about 10 years time


Oh and good luck to the lads
