There is something about Lee Carsley and this competition. Just when it looked like England were heading for a nervous period of extra time after the goalkeeper James Beadle had been embarrassed by Noah Ohio’s outlandish equaliser, a stunning winner by Harvey Elliott – his second goal of the evening and fourth in Slovakia – means the dream of winning successive European under-21 tournaments is alive and well.
It is a reflection of what a cool customer Carsley is these days that while other members of the England bench looked shellshocked after Ohio had cancelled out Elliott’s opener, he refused to panic.
