Chelsea young gun Izzy Brown stars as England U19 make it three in a row

Chelsea youngster Izzy Brown starred as England U19 continued their impressive campaign in the UEFA U19 European Championships.

The Young Lions claimed their third consecutive win of the group stage when they defeated Croatia 2-1 in Heidenheim, Germany on Monday.

Brown gave his side the lead in the fourth minute of the game when he received the ball on the left flank, before cutting inside and firing beyond Croatia's keeper Ivan Nevistic.

Six minutes later, the Young Lions were 2-0 up after Croatian defender Silvio Anocic scored an own goal from Brown's cross.

The Croatian side managed to pull back one goal in the second half through Nikola Moro.

Aidy Boothroyd's side, who have secured their spot in Thursday's semi-final against Italy, finished the group with maximum points.
