Alex Scott lifts Euros U19 trophy as Bristol City ace claims silverware in England's final win

Alex Scott got his hands on his first piece of silverware as the Bristol City starlet featured for 72 minutes in England's extra-time Euro Under-19 Championship victory over Israel.

The Bristol City wonderkid convinced manager Ian Foster to hand him the start following his brilliant 35-minute cameo against the Italians in the previous leg. With England staring down the barrel of a semi-final exit, Scott scored with his first touch when he headed home a corner before Jarell Quansah sealed victory eight minutes from time.

The 18-year-old couldn't quite have the same impact this time around, but that is also credit to the underdogs Israel who outnumbered the Three Lions in midfield leaving both Scott and his partner Carney Chukwuemeka with barely any space or time to make an influence on proceedings.
