Rhian Brewster played the full game as England U17s progressed to the semi-finals of the European Championship in Croatia by beating Republic of Ireland 1-0.

A 13th-minute goal from Jadon Sancho on Saturday was enough for Steve Cooper’s side, who will now meet Turkey in the last four on Tuesday May 16.

By virtue of reaching the semi-finals, England have also sealed qualification for the FIFA U17 World Cup, to be played in India in October this year.
