England U21 Advances to Euros Final as Elliott Injures Knee Celebrating

Harvey Elliott played a pivotal role in England's 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in the European Under-21 Championship semi-finals, scoring both goals to secure a spot in the final against Germany. During his goal celebration, Elliott attempted a knee slide on the dry pitch at the Tehelne Pole stadium in Bratislava, which caused him knee pain, though he continued playing. Elliott described the injury as a consequence of living in the moment and acknowledged it was a silly decision, hoping the damage was not serious. England, the defending champions, overcame a challenging group stage and impressive knockout performances, including a win over tournament favorites Spain, to reach the final. Manager Lee Carsley praised the team's development and singled out Elliott and Charlie Cresswell for special recognition. The final will be held on Saturday, with England aiming to defend their title against an undefeated German side.
