WATCH THE CLIP

<p>The post-match brawl followed a strong England performance that saw them march into the semi-finals. McAtee was on hand to pounce after 10 minutes when Spain failed to clear a corner that pinballed around the area before Elliot fired home a rebound from a Jarrell Quansah effort. The Liverpool defender then gave away a penalty, dispatched by Javi Guerra, before Anderson made sure of victory in the dying seconds from the spot.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>England take on the Netherlands on Wednesday in the semi-finals as they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/england-u21s-player-ratings-spain-james-trafford-penalty-european-champions/bltbc1fc8f3f848dd85" target="_blank">move closer to reclaiming the crown they won two years ago</a>. Should they see off the Dutch side, one of Denmark, France, Germany or Italy will await them in the final.</p>
