England U21 Euros semi-finals: how to watch UEFA Euros fixture as young Lions reach semi-finals vs Israel

England Under-21s are through to the semi-final of the UEFA Euros tournament after beating Portugal 1-0 in the quarter-finals.

Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon scored what would prove to be the winning goal in the 34th minute with Morgan Gibbs-White once again assisting and the Young Lions now find themselves just one match away from the European final.

Speaking after the match, the Young Lions boss Lee Carsley said: “We have to give Portugal a lot of credit. They pressed us really well, they were aggressive with their positioning. We couldn’t control it. It wasn’t as if we were on battery save mode, Portugal were good. It should give the players great confidence knowing that they can beat potentially the favourites.”

Carsley’s squad are yet to concede a goal in this tournament and they now face Israel in the semi-final after the latter won against hosts Georgia on penalties. England have already faced their semi-final opponents once this tournament, beating them 2-0 in the group stages.
