The U17 England team defeated Spain in an all-European final at the FIFA World Cup in India. The final score read 5-2 in England’s favour as the Lions dominated the match. The Spaniards drew first blood with a brace from Gomez. That was all that was needed for England to stage a comeback and fire in 5 goals to win the match. This was England’s first U17 World Cup win. They had Brewster, Foden, Gibbs-White and Guehi to thank for the victory. Here is how social media reacted to the win. Meanwhile, Brazil defeated Mali to finish 3rd in the standings.
Clinical show after two down and scoring five in a row. That’s amazing final. Well done England. You really deserve the World Cup.#ENGvESP
