Germany stuns England 4-0

England’s youngsters were crushed by Germany in the European Under-21 Championship final in Malmo.
The Germans went ahead when Mesut Ozil went past Martin Cranie and cleverly found Gonzalo Castro, who slotted home.
Soon after the break, goalkeeper Scott Loach misjudged Ozil’s free-kick and palmed the ball into the net.
After England’s Lee Cattermole hit the bar, Sandro Wagner collected Ozil’s pass and fired through Loach’s legs and also curled in Germany’s fourth.
Despite Wagner’s late double, it was the outstanding Ozil who was England’s chief tormentor. The Werder Bremen playmaker produced several moments of class and always looked dangerous on the counter-attack.
England, on the other hand, struggled without suspended forwards Gabriel Agbonlahor and Fraizer Campbell, who were sorely missed. In their absence, Theo Walcott was moved in from the left flank by boss Stuart Pearce and operated as a lone striker. – [BBC]
