Under-21s: Nelson scores penalty in England draw

England ended their Under-21 Euro campaign on Monday evening.

Reiss Nelson played the full 90 minutes and scored as the Young Lions were held to a 3-3 draw by Croatia in Serravalle, San Marino.

Aidy Boothroyd’s side knew they would be going home after this game, following defeats in their opening two games, but they still started the brighter side.

Phil Foden picked out Nelson in the box, who cut inside Bran Kalaica before the defender brought him down. Our teenage forward stepped up to roll the spot-kick into the bottom corner for his third goal in six England Under-21 appearances.
