England Under-19s suffered a late set-back in their second game with Mexico on Monday evening.
After a bright display, it had looked as though Aidy Boothroyd’s Young Lions were set to earn a draw in their final warm-up match ahead of next month’s Euro Finals.

But a late header from the hosts meant an undeserved defeat at the Mexican national football centre, just outside Mexico City.
Boothroyd and his squad will now return home before they meet up again for July’s Euro Finals in Germany, where they have been drawn alongside France, Netherlands and Croatia in their qualifying group.
