Elliott Leads England U21s Into Euros Final

Harvey Elliott scored both goals as England Under-21s beat the Netherlands 2-1 in Bratislava, advancing to the European Championship final. Elliott, recognized as a team leader alongside Charlie Cresswell and now the tournament's top scorer, overcame previous frustrations over limited playing time at Liverpool to deliver a decisive performance. England dominated possession and created multiple chances despite the sweltering conditions, with the Dutch equalizing briefly before Elliott's late winner. Manager Lee Carsley praised the team's resilience and noted that many players will age out of the U21 squad after the final. The Young Lions will face either Germany or France in Saturday's final as they seek to defend their 2023 title. Elliott's influence has been a driving force behind England's campaign.
