Van Dijk and Gakpo were the starting lineup for the Dutch in their match against the Republic of Ireland in Amsterdam. Caoimhin Kelleher was an unused substitution.

The early goal by Wout Weghorst was the game-winner, ensuring that the Netherlands will be participating in next year’s competition.

In a qualification match for the U21 European Championship, Elliott scored the winning goal as the Young Lions defeated Serbia 3-0 away from home.

After receiving the ball around 25 yards out, the Liverpool midfielder calmly fired a shot into the bottom right corner of the net.

Calum Scanlon was an integral part of England’s U19 team that beat Japan 3-2 in the second of three matches played in Marbella.
