Channel 4 have won a last-minute deal to show England under-21s’ European Championship final on terrestrial television.
The broadcaster stepped in after Lee Carsley’s side secured a showdown with Spain on Saturday and the chance to win the tournament in Georgia. Football Association bosses were hugely disappointed that no major TV channel had opted to screen the tournament and the players were left disappointed that they were subject to a blackout.
England’s games were only shown via UEFA’s own streaming service and yet the Young Lions reached their first final in 14 years which forced the TV companies into a change of heart.
