da imperador bet： England's Young Lions made it three 2-0 wins from three group games as they defeated holders Germany on Wednesday night, knocking the holders out of the competition in the process.

Germany came into the game knowing they would have to win but found themselves 1-0 down within four minutes, as Cameron Archer latched onto Jacob Ramsey's superb through ball and finished coolly into the bottom corner.

A second was added just 20 minutes later, when Harvey Elliott powered his way into the box and finished off a superb solo run with aplomb.

England were not properly tested for the remainder of the 90 minutes, dominating possession and creating chances at will. They will march on to play Portugal in the quarter-finals.

Germany were blunt, and did not seem to be at the level of the Young Lions.

GOAL rates England's players from the international clash…

GettyGoalkeeper & Defence

James Trafford (6/10):

Made one superb save in the first half to keep out a goal-bound header. His distribution left something to be desired but, when called upon, he made his saves with a minimum of fuss and earned his clean sheet.

Ben Johnson (6/10):

Never challenged at right-back and was able to get forward too, prior to his substitution.

Charlie Cresswell (6/10):

Germany were blunt in attack, and both Cresswell and Branthwaite had a simple evening.

Jarrad Branthwaite (7/10):

Never really stretched, much like Cresswell, but did his job in a straightforward manner, making one excellent block.

Luke Thomas (6/10):

Comfortable at left-back and was able to deliver some excellent crosses.

Oliver Skipp (6/10):

Does the dirty work in midfield exceptionally well, and mopped up plenty of German attacks, even if he didn't impact the game all that much in the final third.

Jacob Ramsey (7/10):

Superb through ball played Archer in for his opening goal and kept bursting through the lines. Germany could not handle him before his substitution.

Cole Palmer (5/10):

Wasn't as involved as some of his team-mates but some neat touches, and consistently showed for the ball.

GettyAttack

Noni Madueke (8/10):

Dominated down the right flank at times, torturing the German backline, until his substitution. A livewire who created chances almost every time he received the ball.

Cameron Archer (7/10):

Scored after just three minutes with a cool finish when one-on-one. Always a willing runner, and while he snatched at a few chances, he was a menace up front before being substituted for Anthony Gordon.

Harvey Elliott (7/10):

Scored a brilliant solo goal to make it 2-0, as he accelerated into the penalty box and finished into the bottom corner. Always wants the ball, and tracked back dutifully too.

GettySubs & Manager

Emile Smith Rowe (5/10):

Replaced the impressive Madueke. Could not match the brilliant Chelsea star but didn't get an awful lot of the ball.

Max Aarons (6/10):

Came on for Ben Johnson. Did his work.

James Garner (6/10):

Replaced Ramsey and kept possession ticking.

Anthony Gordon (7/10)

On for Archer and almost immediately created a chance. An impressive cameo.

Lee Carsley (8/10):

Got his tactics spot on. England made plenty of chances and played some genuinely lovely football. A great day at the office.
