Manchester City's Lukas Nmecha scored the decisive goal as Premier League Academy youngsters helped England beat Portugal 2-1 to win the UEFA Under-19 European Championship. 

Nmecha slotted in from a pass by Chelsea's Mason Mount on 68 minutes.

The midfielder for the Blues' Premier League 2 team also set up the opener, with his free-kick hitting the post and falling for Aston Villa's Easah Suliman. Dujon Sterling had scored an own goal to draw Portugal level.

The UEFA U19 European Championship caps off a summer of success at youth level for England, who won the FIFA Under-20 World Cup and the Toulon Tournament, as well as reaching the final and last four of the Under-17 and Under-21 European Championships respectively.
