Winning goals
Sears broke the deadlock just before the half-hour mark and he converted a penalty with five minutes left to remove all doubt. On Wednesday England, who include several players from last season's European U17 runners-up, face Serbia here while Poland take on group hosts Belarus in Minsk. Serbia beat Belarus 4-0 today in Minsk so if England win and Belarus do not, they will qualify for July's finals in the Czech Republic.
