NewsU21 Euros: Harvey Elliott scores again as England beat Spain to reach semi-finals

Liverpool midfielder Elliott, who was joined in the Young Lions’ starting XI by Jarell Quansah and Tyler Morton, netted his second goal of the tournament to put his team 2-0 up just 15 minutes into Saturday night’s quarter-final in Slovakia.

Quansah played a major role in the goal, too, as the centre-back strode forward and saw a shot from outside the box saved, with Elliott then converting the rebound.

James McAtee had earlier opened the scoring and, although Spain pulled one back with a penalty shortly before half-time, Elliot Anderson secured victory with a spot-kick of his own in stoppage time.

Elliott was withdrawn with 20 minutes remaining, while Quansah and Morton completed the tie.

Holders England now face a semi-final against the Netherlands on Wednesday.
