Connor Wickham netted the winning goal as England beat Spain 2-1 in the final of the European U17 Championships in Liechtenstein. Just after the break, the Town striker beat a couple of players on the edge of the area before firing a low shot across the Spanish keeper and into the net.
Striker Connor Wickham will miss Town’s games against Plymouth and Derby after joining up with the England squad for their UEFA European U17 Championships first qualifying round group games in Baku, Azerbaijan. Wickham has joined up with the squad late after coming on as a sub during last night’s 1-1 draw against Watford.
Connor Wickham is set to win his eighth England U17 cap this afternoon when his side take on Sweden in their first European Championships elite qualifying group game at Northampton’s Sixfields (KO 3pm). The 16-year-old, who manager Roy Keane is confident will sign his first professional deal with the Blues on his return, has previously scored four goals at U17 level.
