Ronaldo Vieira, Tom Pearce, and the rest of the England U21 squad have made another youth tournament final after winning their semi-final yesterday.
England beat Scotland to set up a rematch with their Group A opponents, Mexico, in the finals of the Toulon Tournament. This will be the third straight year that England has made the finals, and they will be looking to bag a hat trick of victories in the youth tournament that is held in France.

Ronaldo Vieira started and played 73 minutes for England, while Tom Pearce, who had appeared in the last three matches, did not come off the bench. Former Leeds player Lewis Cook has captained the team and played the full 80 minutes.
Mexico looked the stronger side when the two teams faced earlier in the tournament, although the match ended as a scoreless draw.
The final will be played Saturday, 9 June at 17.30 BST. We’ll have a How To Watch post up to let you know where you can watch (or stream) the final.
