Stuart Pearce's England Under-21s were crushed in their European Championship final in Malmo on a familiar evening which featured a goalkeeping error and a ruthless 4-0 German victory. Mesut Ozil's long-range free-kick embarrassed stand-in goalkeeper Scott Loach but England were already trailing at that stage to Gonzalo Castro's opener at Swedbank Stadion. Sandro Wagner then added two late goals to continue Pearce's jinx against Germany, after he lost to them twice as a player in major tournaments.
