England fans experienced a familiar pain tonight as the under-21 side was knocked out of the European Championships semi-final on penalties. The pulsating match finished 2-2 after extra time, with England coming from behind to lead 2-1 only to be pegged back by their old footballing foe. After Germany took a 4-3 lead in the shoot-out, Southampton midfielder Nathan Redmond (pictured main) was the latest man to miss a vital spot kick for England after his tame effort was saved by goalkeeper Julian Pollersbeck (inset), after Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham had also previously missed. The young lions looked devastated (bottom right) after the miss while the Germans once again celebrated (top right) a penalty victory against England, following similar wins against the senior side in the 1990 World Cup and the 1996 European Championship.
