Thanks to a comeback victory over Scotland, England's Under-21s have set up a rematch with Mexico in the final of the Toulon Tournament.

Scotland went into the break leading 1-0 thanks to a goal from Mikey Johnston in the 30th minute.

However, the 'Young Lions' turned on the afterburners in the second half to score three goals and secure a 3-1 win.

Eddie Nketiah set up Callum Connolly for the equaliser just after the restart before scoring twice himself.

His first was a fine individual goal, dazzling Scotland's defence with a mazy run before firing a low shot into the bottom corner.

His second was an impressive finish from just inside the area and put the game to bed with 11 minutes remaining.

England will now face Mexico in the final after the Central American side overcame Turkey in the other semi-final.

They look to win the tournament for the third straight year following triumphs in 2016 and 2017.
