Southampton's Sam Amo-Ameyaw, Tyler Dibling and Jayden Meghoma all featured as England's Under-18s lifted the Pinatar Cup in Spain.

Following last Wednesday's 2-1 win over Czechia and the 0-0 draw with Germany on Friday, Tom Curtis' Young Lions knew a point against the Netherlands would be enough to win the tournament.

Amo-Ameyaw and Dibling both started the game which saw goals from Tottenham's Leo Black and Wolves' Leon Chiwome give them a 2-0 lead.

Meghoma was introduced for the final moments, helping England hold onto their advantage despite a second half Netherlands goal. Their unbeaten record securing the title.

Saints' own Amo-Ameyaw was also awarded Most Valuable Player for the tournament, having continued his fine form for his country this month.
