Thank you very much for joining me.

Here is Ed Aarons’ report!

Harvey Elliott (while being attacked by moths): “Incredible. Lost for words. I said at the start it was going to be very tough. I thought the way the lads handled the pressure, conceding a goal, the lads deserve this. We need to rest and go again.

“I was screaming to Jarell to pass it but I knew he was going to shoot. It was about me following in, and I was there to tap it in.

“There was a major different from start to finish, we were disciplined and compact. We trusted in our own ability. The football was incredible, we need to take a lot from this into the next game.

“The teams we are going to play now are incredible. We need to recover and focus on the Netherlands.”

The Channel 4 reporter seems far more excited by the win than Elliott.
