Aston Villa midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka admits England's Under-19s European Championships triumph was "a dream come true".
Chukwuemeka and the Young Lions came from behind in the final of the competition on Friday night in Slovakia, to defeat Israel 3-1 in extra time. Oscar Gluh had handed Israel a first-half lead with a fine effort, before a second half equaliser from Manchester City defender Callum Doyle took the game to extra-time.
Ian Foster's men then showed their powers of perseverance and staying power, with Chukwuemeka and Villa teammate Aaron Ramsey getting on the scoresheet in the final 12 minutes to sealed an 11th title at U19 level for England. Indeed, Chukwuemeka has had an impressive tournament, scoring three goals in England’s five games, as well as adding two assists.
