England U16s have crashed out of the prestigious Montaigu Tournament after losing 3-0 to Portugal in their second Group B game on Thursday evening.

The Young Lions needed to win against the Portuguese to stand a chance of advancing to the semifinals after drawing 1-1 with Mexico on Tuesday.

England U16 Head Coach Dan Micciche called up 20 players for the trip to France, including West Ham's Ajibola Alese, Manchester City defender Nathanael Ogbeta and Chelsea midfielder Faustino Anjorin.

Ogbeta partnered Alese in defense against Mexico while Anjorin was one of the four non-playing substitutes.

England are one of the most successful countries in the history of the competition, having won it six times in the past, most recently in 2015.
