TOULON: England U-21 beat Qatar 4-0 in their final Toulon Tournament group game but were made to wait to secure qualification for the semi-finals yesterday.

The result was not quite enough for Aidy Boothroyd’s men to secure progress.

England finished level with Mexico on goal difference but scored one fewer goal.

Second-half strikes from Ronaldo Vieira (58), Tammy Abraham (61) and Adam Armstrong (72), added to an earlier own goal (38 - Ahmed Suhail), rouded up the score for the reigning champions.

But the Young Lions face a wait to discover their fate, hoping Scotland lose to South Korea tomorrow in which case they would qualify for the semi-finals as the best second place.
