- England Under-21s beat Portugal to reach UEFA EURO U21 Semi-Finals- Luke Thomas was on the bench for the 2-0 success in the last-eight- Israel are the Young Lions' next opponents on Wednesday for a place in the final
Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon's 34th-minute strike settled the last-eight tie in Georgia, sending the Young Lions into the semi-finals of the elite youth competition.
Having played in the triumph over Germany in England's final group match, Foxes full-back Thomas was an unused substitute for this one, with Max Aarons preferred at left-back. In front of a crowd of 6,920 at Ramaz Shengelia Stadium, Lee Carsley's side produced a professional performance which has set up a meeting with Israel at Adjrabet Arena next Wednesday. The pair also met in the group stage of the competition with England coming out 2-0 winners.
