FIFA U17 World Cup final: England 5-2 Spain, 5 key talking points

#3 With a pure team effort, England showed they are more than just Sancho

England played as a cohesive unit

When England arrived in Kolkata they were billed as the favourites, but one thing which the pundits said to go against them was Jadon Sancho's absence. But England overcame a major drawback with style and flair.

They showed that this team doesn’t depend on one player and play a collective brand of football, which is a treat to watch. They also showed that England’s not-so-recent shake-up to change the whole youth development program is bearing fruit with English teams winning trophies which has been a rare incident in international football until now.
