Morning Leeds-in for 2 June: Ronaldo Vieira scores a great goal for England

The England U21s played yesterday at the Toulon Tournament, and Ronaldo Vieira scored a cracking goal against Qatar as both him and Tom Pearce started the match for England.

England did not automatically qualify for the next round, as their goal difference left them behind Mexico, but they’ve got a pretty good chance to advance anyway.

So will England defend their title? They’ll have to play better than they did against Mexico, who have looked extremely good.

On to the links.
