England beats Spain to win U17 FIFA World Cup in India

England produced a sensational performance to come from 2‑0 down to thrash Spain 5‑2 and win the Under‑17 FIFA World Cup in India.

The Three Lions had never gone beyond the quarter‑finals in the tournament before but emulated England U20s who won their World Cup in June.

The margin of victory did not flatter England coach, Steve Cooper's side, who were superb throughout and could consider themselves unlucky to fall behind to a double from Barcelona forward Sergio Gomez.

Heads did not drop, and from the moment Wolves forward Morgan Gibbs White added to Rhian Brewster's eighth goal of the tournament to equalise, England looked the most likely to go on and win.
