ISRAEL U21 0
ENGLAND U21 3

CURTIS JONES branded England Under-21s "one hell of a team" after the Liverpool star propelled them to their first European Championship final since 2009.

Lee Carsley's imperious Young Lions are on the brink of greatness against Spain this weekend.

Manchester City's Cole Palmer, below, grabbed a goal and two assists, including for Morgan GibbsWhite's opener, as England saw off an unadventurous Israel in a onesided semi-final in Batumi, Georgia.

Young Lions substitute Cameron Archer wrapped it up in injury time.

By then the sheer quality of this side transfer value calculated at about £440 million had seen them steam-roller their opposition again.

They are succeeding where U21s tournament veterans such as Harry Kane, Phil Foden, James Maddison and John Stones all failed - and could be our first Euros winners since 1984.
