English-born Ghanaian youngster Jarell Quansah scored the winner as England beat Italy 2-1 to reach the UEFA U-19 European Championship final on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old put up an incredible display as he helped the Young Lions come from behind to topple Italy at the National Training Centre in Slovakia and earn a place in the showpiece at Trnava Stadium on July 1.
Italy took the lead through Fabio Miretti from the penalty spot in the first half, before substitute Alex Scott levelled the semi-final clash in the second period for England.
Quansah, who lasted the entire duration of the game in the heart of defence provided the vital touch for his nation in the latter stages.
The Liverpool defender reacted quickest to head home from a corner in the 82nd minute, which secured a place in Friday's final, where England will face Israel.
Quansah made 23 appearances for Liverpool U-23's side, scoring one goal last season.
