Another shut-out for young Dons keeper
Joe Bursik today claimed his second successive clean sheet to help England into the last-eight of the UEFA Under-17 European Championships.
Our home-grown goalkeeper was unbeaten once again as the Three Lions marched to a 3-0 victory against the Netherlands.
With England maintaining a 100 per cent record, thanks to a double from Jadon Sancho and a Callum Hudson-Odoi strike, it sets up a quarter-final tie against Ireland.
England’s task today was made easier when the Netherlands had a man sent off at the start of the second half, just minutes before Sancho made it 2-0.
Joe has been beaten just once in three group games so far during the tournament in Croatia.
