England Under-21s Reach Euros Semi-Finals After 3-1 Spain Win in Slovakia

England's Under-21 team secured a 3-1 victory over Spain in the European Under-21 Championship quarterfinals, booking their place in the semi-finals where they will face the Netherlands. Early goals from James McAtee and Harvey Elliott gave England a strong start, despite Spain pulling one back from a penalty by Javi Guerra. Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson sealed the win with a late penalty in stoppage time. The match saw tense moments, including a VAR-overturned penalty early on and a post-match altercation resulting in a red card for Spain's Rafa Marin. England's performance was their most complete of the tournament, showing improved balance and resilience under coach Lee Carsley. Prior to this, England had suffered a group stage defeat to Germany but still advanced as runners-up to face Spain in the quarterfinals.
