Blues starlet Matt Phillips played 72 minutes as England U19s succumbed to a narrow 1-0 defeat to Holland in the European Championships this evening.

The winger was handed a start by head coach Noel Blake after an impressive qualifying campaign which saw score on his full debut in the 4-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Despite the defeat the Young Lions can still secure a semi-final spot with a win over hosts France on Saturday.

You can watch Matt and his team-mates in action live on Eurosport from 5pm.
