Walcott ignites England

THEO WALCOTT came off the bench in Gothenburg to help send England into the semi-finals of the European U21 Championship by defeating Spain last night.

Under-21 boss Stuart Pearce controversially dropped the Arsenal winger at Gamla Ullevi but England were ahead five minutes after he came on, with Fraizer Campbell netting.

Walcott then set up the second goal for James Milner, who had a penalty saved in the first half.
