WORLDIE Brilliant Young Lions hammer Spain after stunning second-half fightback
breathless stuff – but that bravura was pierced by Sergio Gomez, the Barcelona No.10, whose scrappy goal put Spain ahead on 10 minutes then doubled the lead with a stunning shot past Curtis Anderson on the half hour.
At 2-0 down England could have folded. Instead, they took stock and proceeded to overpower a side who had beaten them on penalties in the European Championship final last summer.
Brewster’s header changed the complexion of the game just before half-time and England were a side transformed. Gibbswhite equalised before Foden put them in front after more great work from Hudson-odoi. Marc Guehi scored a fourth from a knockdown by fellow defender Joel Latibeaudiere before Foden crowned a performance that will spark talk of England’s new golden generation.
This side will have to join the queue after the Under-20’s triumph. And more importantly, can they get a game in the first team at their clubs?
