What a strike.
The England U21 side were largely uninspired against Sweden this evening and the game looked to be heading for a 0-0 draw until Jesse Lingard stepped up.
The Manchester United midfielder connected sweetly with the ball just outside the box and volleyed excellently to the net to give Gareth Southgate a priceless win in the European Championship group stage.
Lingard has been loaned out to Championship clubs during the last few seasons and it will be interesting to see whether he figures in Louis van Gaal’s plans next year.
England are currently joint-top with three points from two games, and will play Italy in their final group game on Wednesday.
