England are now just two games away from glory as they prepare to face Israel in the semi-finals of the Euro U21 Championship.
Lee Carsley’s side have made it to the last four without conceding a goal and have looked almost unstoppable.

The Young Lions have scored seven unanswered goals across this tournament and have been too good for all of their opponents.
England haven’t won this tournament since 1984, but they are one game away from the final, and if they were to be successful here, they would face Ukraine or Spain.
Carsley’s men faced Israel in their second Group C match and comfortably won 2-0 thanks to goals from Anthony Gordon and Emile Smith Rowe.

Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott is back with his teammates after missing the 1-0 win over Portugal due to a family-related matter.
However, Aston Villa star Jacob Ramsey was substituted and then seen on crutches after the Portugal win, suggesting his involvement is doubtful.
