Delfouneso double puts England U19s in final
Jul 31 2009 by Ken Montgomery, Birmingham Mail
VILLA striker Nathan Delfouneso scored twice as England Under-19s battled back from a goal down to beat France 3-1 and book their place in Sunday’s final of the European Championship against hosts Ukraine.
Magaye Gueye gave France an early lead but Henri Lansbury equalised. England went in front only two minutes into extra time when Delfouneso tapped in after Pillot had parried Joe Mattock’s shot.
And he struck again in the dying seconds of the first period of extra-time when he dribbled around Pillot and coolly shot home.
A frustrated France finished the game with eight players.
