West Ham United midfielder Blair Turgott's hopes of winning the UEFA European U17 Championship were ended as England lost out 1-0 to Netherlands in the semi-finals.
The Academy midfielder completed the full 80 minutes in the Serbian city of Novi Sad, but was unable to inspire his country to victory against the Dutch. Indeed, the final chance of the game fell to the Hammers teenager, but he was unable to direct a difficult header on target.
Earlier, Netherlands had scored the only goal of the game through Arsenal youngster Kyle Ebecilio.
Defeat means Turgott will not get the opportunity to emulate club-mate Robert Hall, who was part of the England squad that won the same competition in Liechetenstein a year ago.
However, the youngster will be hoping to get another crack at success when England head to Mexico for the FIFA U17 World Cup in June. The Young Lions reached the tournament when they finished second in their group at the European Championship finals.
There, the 16-year-old could come up against Hammers Academy striker Dylan Tombides, who is expected to be named in the Australia squad, and play alongside England team-mate Matthias Fanimo, who missed the European Championship finals through injury.
