ROUND-UP Internationals: Elliott scores a spectacular goal, and Van Dijk and Gakpo qualify for the Euros

On Saturday, Harvey Elliott scored a fantastic goal for the England U21 team, and the Netherlands’ Cody Gakpo and Virgil van Dijk both qualified for Euro 2024.

In Amsterdam, Gakpo and Van Dijk made their debuts for the Netherlands against the Republic of Ireland, where Caoimhin Kelleher was an unutilized substitute.

Wout Weghorst’s early goal was sufficient to split the scores and guarantee the Netherlands’ place in the tournament the following year.

Elliott completed the Young Lions’ 3-0 victory over Serbia on the road to earn a spot in the U21 European Championship.

About 25 yards from goal, the Liverpool midfielder picked up the ball and fired a crisp shot into the lower right corner.

While Jarell Quansah and Tyler Morton, who are on loan, were introduced from the bench in the second half, Elliott played the entire game in Backa Topola.

In the second of their three matches in Marbella, England defeated Japan 3-2, with Calum Scanlon playing a major part in the victory.

Scanlon was brought on as a substitute just after the hour mark, and in the final minute, he set up Jamie Donley for the game-winning goal.
