Striker Connor Wickham played the full 80 minutes as England’s U17s beat Greece 1-0 to reach the semi-finals of the European U17 Championships in Liechtenstein.

Wickham had a number of chances but all too often took too long to unleash his shot. Everton’s Ross Barkley netted the only goal of the game.

England complete their group matches with a game against Turkey on Monday but are already through to a semi-final next Thursday.

jas0999 added 21:47 - May 21 A decent game of football.Wickham did okay, but was at times wasteful. One good move and shot in the second half which was real quality, but went just wide. In fairness he looked pretty tired!

nickyslad added 21:54 - May 21 Well done Connor. Difficult playing on your own up front with out any support! Cant see were the number of chances came from ? as 3 half chances in the whole game is not a number of chances in my books! ( before you all start 3 is a number) Roll on the next game

stainless added 06:44 - May 22 I was a bit disappointed with Wickham, his movement was poor and he seemed to be looking for the ball to feet with his back to goal, he's spent to much time watching counago play. On the 2 games so far i think redknapp will be withdrawing his 5 mill bid and huddersfield will offer 500K
