England win U20s World Cup down Venezuela in the final [Best Tweets] #U20WC

The England men’s national team played out a very Three Lions performance on Saturday and once again suggested that the World Cup next year could be a real slog.

Joe Hart was castigated by many and it was left to new captain Harry Kane to make it 2-2 against Scotland in World Cup qualifying after Leight Griffiths turned the game around in the final three minutes.

Looking further afield though, England’s youth sides have undoubtedly shown this weekend, that there is plenty of talent coming through.

On Saturday, England won the Toulon Tournament on penalties.

Venezuela’s incredible run to the final

There was much more interest in England’s Under-20 side, led by new Liverpool signing Dominic Solanke and with a smattering of key Everton players.

After a brilliant run to the Under-20 World Cup final, England took on Venezuela, a country in dire straits right now.

Venezuela’s incredible run to the final, considering their troubles back home, was an excellent story on its own.

But, from an English perspective it was all about whether England had the nerve and class to win their first World Cup final since 1966.

Ultimately, England’s match against Venezuela was a ding dong battle of the highest order.

Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin bags the winner!

The young Three Lions side took the lead on 34, thanks to Everton youngster Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Josh Onomah was so unlucky not to make it 2-0 when he crashed a shot against the bar early in the second half.

Then came the key moment, arguably of the whole tournament, as Freddie Woodman saved a penalty from Venezuela’s Adalberto Penaranda.

Twitter got rather excited about England Under-20s performance in a cracking final, see the best Tweets below.
