Sheyi Ojo provided his third assist in three games as England U19s beat Croatia 2-1 in their final group match of the European Championships (via official site).

The open came after just four minutes, as Ojo’s perfectly-weighted pass allowed Isaiah Brown to hit the back of the net.

Aidy Boothroyd’s men were 2-0 up inside ten minutes when Silvio Anocic turned Brown’s cross into his own net.

Croatia pulled one back through Nikola Moro with half an hour to go, but it proved to be little more than a consolation goal.
