Norway produced a stellar display to secure their first UEFA European Under-21 Championship Group A triumph and eliminate England.

Buoyed by their last-gasp equaliser against Israel, Norway opening the scoring on 15 minutes thanks to Fredrik Semb Berge's first U21 goal. Jo Inge Berge and Magnus Eikrem extended the advantage either side of the break before Craig Dawson's penalty gave England a glimmer of hope shortly before the hour. Tor Ole Skullerud's men were rarely troubled thereafter and held on to boost their semi-final hopes and send England home.
