Segun Owobowale Stars For Holland, As England Win Euro Under 17sADO Den Haag left winger Segun Owobowale lasted the entire duration as Holland surprisingly failed to win the UEFA Under 17 Championship on Wednesday after losing on penalties to England in the final .

After regulation time ended 1 - 1, the game had to be decided by the lottery of penalty shootouts, and the Young Lions were more composed than the Oranje, converting four of their kicks while their opponents could only score one.

England manager John Peacock handed a starting shirt to Anglo - Nigerians Joshua Onomah (Tottenham Hotspur) and Dominic Solanke (Chelsea) while Mandela Egbo was an unused substitute.

In the 25th minute, Solanke gave England the advantage only for Schuurman to restore parity for Holland in the 40th minute.

Both scorers today finished the tournament with four goals each, and were named the Golden Boot winners.
