ENGLAND has won football's European under-17 championship for the second time in five years!

In a 4 - 1 victory on penalties against the Netherlands, England raised the 2014 trophy in Malta on Wednesday (21 May).

"We've been practising penalties for the last two weeks and we've put in a few hours," head coach John Peacock said. "It's never nice to lose on penalties – unfortunately we have been there before – but it's nice to have our turn to be successful."

The side last won the contest in 2010. The Netherlands and Russia have also done well in recent years.
