West Ham prospect Oxford helps England reach U17 Euros

England have qualilfied for the U17 Euros after victory over Slovenia yesterday.

England, the defending European champions, surged into a three-goal lead by half-time courtesy of goals from West Ham United defender Reece Oxford and Everton midfieder Nathan Holland followed by an own goal by Matija Rom.

Although Slovenia pulled a goal back through Jan Mlakar in the 65th minute, England were worthy winners and advanced to May's finals in Bulgaria with a match to spare.

England complete their qualifying campaign against Romania at Burton on Thursday knowing their place in the finals is already rubber-stamped.
