England are now World Champions at two different age levels. Following on from the U20's success in South Korea, this summer, the U17s have followed suit and lifted their own World Cup after beating Spain 5-2 in a thrilling final in Kolkata, this afternoon.
The Young Lions actually found themselves 2-0 down in the first half but roared back with goals from Rhian Brewster, Morgan Gibbs-White, Marc Guehi and a brace from player of the tournament, Phil Foden

Brewster's goal was his eighth of the tournament, earning the Liverpool youngster the golden boot, while Manchester City's Phil Foden was named player of the tournament after a series of sensational displays that have no doubt caught the attention of Pep Guardiola, who has sung the 17 year old's praises several times over the last few months.

Between the triumphant U20s and U17s, English football could be set for a very, very bright future. But will these youngsters be given the opportunities they need by their clubs?

Let's hope so.
In the meantime, enjoy your success, lads. You deserve it.
