England U21s beat Israel U21s 2-0 in Group C of the U21 Europa League, a two-game winning streak that sealed their place in the tournament ahead of schedule and made the top spot a certainty. In this crucial matchup, England U21's performance was noteworthy, especially veteran Imerovi, who has been selected for the adult national team, showed his sharpness by scoring for the second consecutive game under the watchful eye of the Shovki leaders.
At the age of 22, Imerovi has played for the England national team three times, but missed half of last season due to injury. Although he has not fully recovered since his return to action and has had fewer chances to play, he has revitalized himself again in this U21 European Cup, scoring a goal in the first round of the tournament as a substitute. As the center of the midfield, he scored with a beautiful behind-the-back shot just four minutes into the match, but unfortunately it was ruled out for offside.
England U21 scored in the 16th minute with a header from Anthony Gordon, who was playing center forward. In the 68th minute, Imerovi and Kibishevt made a collision at the top of the penalty area, and Imerovi scored with a precise long-distance shot, helping England U21 to seal a 2-0 victory. In the other Group C match, Germany U21 lost 1-2 to Czech Republic U21, so England U21 successfully locked up the top spot in the group, while Germany U21 is in danger of being eliminated from the tournament with only one point from two matches.
